Should we do it? Well, that gets down to a question that we've never had to face on Earth before: the distinction between nature and life. On Earth there is no meaningful distinction between nature and life, even in the remotest, coldest deserts.

We see that distinction for the first time when we look beyond the Earth, when we look at the moon. There's nature; there's no life. When we look at Mars, we also see nature, probably no life. It's different from the moon, and we lack the word that distinguishes between something that's dead, and something that was never alive. The moon was never alive. Mars is dead. The question in my mind is - should we bring it back to life?

Ok, so I don't normally do two link articles in such a short amount of time, but this one just wowed me. I've been in love with the idea of Mars as a sleeping giant ever since reading "The Martian Chronicles" by Ray Bradbury, and this quote brought back all the wonder I experienced then.
