The whole fear that return samples from Mars, either
by robotic mission or manned, seems thoroughly irrational to me.
I think that's a little extreme, but I certainly agree with you that any
life on Mars is very unlikely to be pathogenic. On Earth, only a tiny
percentage of microbes are
Just out today: a study that Earth microbes
would not do well on Mars:

Hi Jeff,
Definitely those are viable options, though I think this subject would
spark more debate than Pluto, Plutonian and Plutonic in these extended
circles if it ever had a

Pathogens and their hosts are, quite literally, made for each other.
I understand this statement but disagree with it in the terms of the
current debate. It presupposes our thoughts from our experience with
life on earth and the equilibrium life has here. At a basic level we
are just bags of

Our bodies are extremely difficult environments for microbes- much worse
than, say, a geothermal vent a few miles down. Your suggestion that Martian
microorganisms might have a feast when presented with humans should apply
equally well to Earth organisms, most of which have never encountered us
Hiho Doug,
the name of the planet Terra is more based in science fiction of some
authors these days rather.

That ball, we call Earth.
In principle tellus and terra are synonyms,
but tellus is more poetic, means more the goddess, the Earth as center of

Hiho Mr. Martindale, (Isn't Miss Martindale a Tellurian? UK humor)
The adjective already in the language defined in the more limited
manner we want is TERRENE. So throw out TERRAN and use TERRENE and I'm
fine, are you?

I didn't think so... all right...,
Can we find one first before 1000 emails to the list over this stupid

Let me get this straight.
We have (in no particular order of
favoritism): Terrestrial meteorite,
Tellurite, Terrenite, Terranite, Earthite,
and possibly Gaiaite or Geoite.
So, when a meteor of Earth origin is
travelling toward becoming a meteorite
of whatever designation, is it referred to

FlyingSpaghettiMonster help us if the first confirmed Earth-originating
meteorite lands in Colorado.
Besides, everybody knows that they should be called icaruites.

I am so sorry that I ever asked my question.
I am still learning about these meteorites and all
the terminology that goes with the subject.
I shall crawl back into my little hole and never again
even peek at the list again.

How do I know Cicero wasn't being sarcastic?
Cause it's from his Somnium Scipionis, one of the most prevalent
cosmologic writings.
There he describes the Earth as a globe, with poles, climes, antipodes on
the opposed hemispheres...similar as we do it today, hence the same concept,
