"A thought question: Will a mars mission not irreversibly contaminate Mars?"
If waste is created during this mission, so be it. There are worse places to lay waste than an unoccupied planet. I cant think of any negative consequences it could have. If life eventually flourishes on mars, I believe all that waste will be quite buried by that time.
