>Mars very likely has an extant biosphere already, so “colonizing” it might be a catastrophic mistake
I'd have to imagine if we had the opportunity to colonize that planet it follows we'd also have the opportunity to catalog what's already there and preserve what might be useful to us in the future. But that may just be naive optimism

Yeah, true that. That's why I switched to Mars and got mixed up on the wording.
