Sometimes a post makes a much bigger point than its immediate context:

If there is any serious question about how to get samples back from Mars, there can be no serious plan to send people to Mars.

This article seems serious...

Ignore the OP, pay attention to actual science, and why safety measures matter:

    You are totally missing the part about rocks from Mars reaching Earth all the time. If it were an issue, it is already too late. Plus, we have already brought back samples from other bodies with out bothering with such precautions. Also, nothing in scientific findings (nor in the popular press articles you cited as "science") suggests that this is anything other than mineral traces of life that has been dead for millions (more likely billions) of years.

    Finally, you may want to drop the ranting tone if you expect anyone to take you seriously.
