Theory and reality are two different things. In theory the WTC were suppose to survive a airliner crashing in to them. In practice they failed... When high stakes are at risk like the Earth's ecosystem its important to be sure of your facts, that is how science based decision making works versus belief based decision making.

And the benefit should be worth the risk. What is the benefit of a Mars Sample Return other then satisfying a handful of astrobiologists and Mars advocates? Is that really worth the risk?

And why the Hurry? Why not just wait a few years more until NASA sends astronuts there? Afterall they are paid to take these kind of risks. Or do you now believe that sending humans to Mars without knowing first if life exists and is harmless is too risky?
