Citations don't support two sentences[edit]

The sentences " This plan, however, is not feasible because the Martian surface, at approximately −55 °C (−67 °F), is far too cold for Chroococcidiopsis to survive. The surface temperature would have to be raised to just below freezing for the bacteria to survive." are not supported by the two citations. One makes no reference to Mars, the other makes no reference to temperature constraints. The sentences are new analysis, and though that's enough to remove them, they're also wrong - the average temp on Mars may be low but high temps regularly exceed freezing. The real issue is the lack of water.Brian A Schmidt (talk) 06:42, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
