SETI's Margaret Race criticizes Robert Zubrin

memo: article about Mars Society President - Robert Zubrin

Hazardous Until Proven Otherwise
(in response to Contamination from Mars: No Threat)

by Margaret Race
from the November/December 2000 Planetary Report

When I read the opinion piece by Robert Zubrin ("Contamination From Mars: No Threat," The Planetary Report, July/August 2000), I didn't know how to react. As a biologist working on planetary protection and Mars sample return at the SETI Institute, I wondered how an engineer and Mars enthusiast like Zubrin could make such irresponsible and inaccurate statements. Obviously, Zubrin is entitled to his opinion, even if it's based largely on misuse of facts. But what about the readers of The Planetary Report? Don't they deserve more than op-ed humor?
