Might be a double-edged sword, though. The "Andromeda Strain" theorists will make a LOT of noise over it; the mission would not be without controversy.
Phoenix has actually retired this concern for me, since the soil pH determination seems consistent with abiological interpretations of the Viking results. I was a bit afraid that there was a very sparse population below the detection limits of really tough, active bugs that went wild over the Viking nutrients...not the kind of thing you want to get flushed down a lab drain or crash-land in the ocean. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
