Barry wrote: You don't have to listen to me R.L. Here is what the NASA Stardust mission Principal Investigator Benton Clark says about Robert Zubrin's zany idea of Martian meteorites raining down on Earth with viable Martian microbes inside and therefore no planetary protection program is required. Another falacy of yours and his put to rest by a "qualified" scientist. Read it and weep:

Chris writes: Is all your research as erroneous as this? Don Brownlee is Principal Investigator. A nice guy who works near me at this university I visit, wrote some books with a friend, Peter Ward... Benton is Chief Scientist!

BTW, Brownlee pretty much agrees with Zubrin on the easy of Mars meteorites reaching Earth...
