Note that [[User:Robertinventor/Discussion of science value of a Mars sample return | Some exobiologists believe that more in situ observation is needed first for practical reasons and reasons of cost benefit]]. There are also [[User:Robertinventor/Dissenting views on Mars sample return back contamination risks | minority view dissenters]] who disagree with the proposed plans. Zubrin considers them to be too cautious and the ICAMSR consider that stronger precautions are required.
