| Dec 3, 2018 at 5:02 | comment | added | uhoh | Edit looks great, thanks! Yes non-existence proofs are hard, but space agencies leave a fairly extensive paper trail on the internet, and its possible that existing material on planetary safety address this with language about fragments that may survive reentry. I'd say a good way would be to look at the planetary-protection tag here (13 questions) or just search for "planetary protection" on this site for starters.(49 results) | |
| Dec 3, 2018 at 4:57 | comment | added | Hunting.Targ | True, and thank you for the reminder; the non-existence of something is rather difficult to verify, especially an abstract policy rather than a program or a piece of hardware across various agencies that do not communicate well with each other, when they do at all. | |
