He nails the first man in the forehead...

Our efforts to prevent “back contamination”—the accidental return to Earth of dangerous alien microbes from other worlds—are the subject of a new NASA report that details how we might test for living organisms in returned samples. NASA intends to return a sample from Mars within the next decade...
