NASA Wants To Bring Back Hunks of Mars In Future Unmanned Mission

There is still risk of Martian microbes that Earth life has no immunity too. Sure, it's a very small chance, but one that has potentially apocalyptic consequences if it happens.

Perhaps the samples should be baked at an intermediate station.

Naw, just build a sampling lab on the Moon and process them there. Hell, you could even teloperate it, it's only a 3 second lag, wouldn't even need to send any people up there, which would make the Congresscritters happy..
