Maybe it's time to define a list of reserves and add this one, if we ever want to be able to determine how life may have started in the Solar System.

If such an environment gets wasted by pollution from earth this could be a lot more difficult for future generations.

There are no alien bugs…because we have yet to discover alien life form…

I'm not a biologist, but AFAIU other biospheres should pose no problems for each other in biology. Alien organisms aren't adapted and as spectacularly unfit compared to the competition will likely be driven to extinction by everyday evolutionary mechanisms.

WATER, THOUGH, NOT SUPRISING, FOUND ON MARS MAY NEED A COMPLEX HARVESTING METHOD. I HAVE A GRAVE CONCERN OF ALIEN BACTERIA, FUNGUS AND OTHER MICRO LIFE THAT MAY FOREVER AND NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR COLONIZATION. I HOPE ANY CRAFTS OR SUBJECTS RETURNING TO EARTH ARE THOROUGHLY SCRUBBED AND SCANNED FOR ALIEN BUGS. I GUESS THEY'VE ALREADY THOUGHT OF THIS! WOW

Great picture, nice straight forward information. Of course the "this is no evidence of life" comment was cautionary inserted. But it is a step forward, especially if NASA continues a policy, clear, well defined photos for everything they take picture of.

Kudos for this.
