For many years I have dreamed of making a robot that returns from Mars with samples. I think it could be crowdfunded. Basically, get 100M in crowdfunding, then contract it."However, because of the challenges in obtaining unambiguous evidence in situ, coordinated microscopic and compositional analyses of samples returned to laboratories on Earth may be required to reach a robust conclusion as to the presence or absence of past Martian life in these rocks," Ruff and Farmer stated.
