The place where the world comes together in honesty and mirth. Windmills Tilted, Scared Cows Butchered, Lies Skewered on the Lance of Reality ... or something to that effect.

The surface of Mars is probably too toxic for bacteria to survive
Mars is not a very welcoming place. It’s cold, there’s hardly any atmosphere, and its bombarded with deep space radiation.
Even the soil wants to kill you; as the Phoenix lander confirmed in
2009, the Martian regolith is laced with perchlorates—chlorine-based
compounds that, when heated up, can rip apart organic materials, like cells and their building blocks.
