I mean, it's a concern, but there are numerous other odd things in the findings that would not be caused by ground contamination such as the amount of stardust contained in these samples versus other asteroid samples, or the huge amounts of clay/water created minerals found so far. There are plenty of other articles on the isolation procedures they've taken so far to this point including putting off opening the container for months because of a stripped screw. | ||
