No mention in the NASA Quarantine book about all the Martian microbes Zubrin and company say are pelting the Earth on a daily basis.

The absence of some mention of something in an article or paper isn't proof of anything, especially if they wouldn't have know about it then. That has to do with logic not biology. I'm pretty good at logic it's one of my jobs.

Barry isn't an expert in this area and selectively quotes test to suit his particular perspective and exaggerates his opponents position to the absurd so he can destroy strawmen of his own making. This is not how science is done.

I'm not an expert on exobiology and don't care to express my opinion on the subject of Mars back contamination to Earth at this time.
