I don't have much to go on with the closing statement: ''"Closing with a consensus towards an indef block, plus my own admin judgment in that direction"''[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&oldid=855723651#User:Robertinventor,_again]. Though there was a consensus to block me, there was no consensus in the debate about what I was charged with. I will choose what seem to be the top three charges as best I can, but please bear in mind I do not wish to edit in these areas any more. I will answer these on the basis that the charges against me were mistaken.

It's the third video on the main overview page for the NASA Office of Planetary Protection[https://planetaryprotection.nasa.gov/overview]. I defended it so vigorously not because it expressed my own views but because the action deleted NASA's views on the possibilites of Mars organisms from Wikipedia. I think NASA's views on this matter are significant, notable, and should be presented in Wikipedia somewhere. Please don't ask me to say that NASA's views should not be mentioned here as a requirement to be unblocked, thanks!
