Hi all -
One of the big reasons for the push behind panspermia comes from the usual
manned Mars flight nuts who hope to wish away the back-contamination problem.
One can read Zubrin or his followers to see examples this kind of wishful hand
waving and jumping and shouting (Fearing the Dragons).
But Mars will have to be shown to harbor no pathogens or life before manned
Mars flight with return is permitted, in my opinion. The possible consequences
otherwise are a show stopper.
