NASA actually has an office to keep us from infecting other planets with life from Earf. They have concerns that some of the early probes probably still have viable bacteria spores on them.
Nothing modifies genetics like the big hammer of "you suck for this environment, die now". Throw enough at it, and something will stick eventually.

I wasn't going to ask when it was perils. I dang sure ain't gonna ask about the gerbils.
What you do on your planet needs to stay on your planet.

Heck with just that, build a FARM!
Can you imagine just how tender the steaks would be from cows raised in Mars low gravity?

Oh, it is fun to think about and suppose about.
I remember around 1952 a bunch of boys around 10 years old were standing around a barrel burning a tar like substance. I was only 5 and thought my 10 year old brother was next to God.
After talking about it for maybe 10 minutes, my Brother pronounced the verdict. Man would never walk on the Moon. That was it, that settled it for all time.
About five minutes later I was playing with the burning tar and picked up a bit with a stick. I dropped a quarter size bit on my forearm and still have the scar today.

Oh yes. Can you imagine being cooped up in a flying saucer for a year or so and after landing, having her greet you.
Never been kissed tho she picked it up pretty well.

I made my most recent grand-daughter cry until this last month, every time she saw me. That's when she turned 2, and figured out I wasn't going to get any nicer looking.
I once cut a handsome figure of a young man, and then they made me an NCO.
At least they didn't make me an officer and I got to keep my pre-frontal lobes.

Yeah, and the next thing you know someone starts growing wacky terbacky for martian cigarettes.
