Default Why we can't go to Mars (yet)

According to BBC Online:-

President George W Bush will announce proposals next week to send Americans
to Mars

but . . .

unless and until we have robotically established conclusively that there is
or is not life on Mars, we can't put humans on the planet because they will
inevitably bio-contaminate it.

Anyone agree?
