Couple things here to keep in mind:
1. F9 Heavy hasn't even flown yet. 2. F9 non-heavy hasn't been contracted to fly any NASA UMSF missions at all to date. 3. Anything intentionally landing or impacting on Mars has to comply with PPP (planetary protection protocols). Sterilizing an upper booster stage to this degree in probably not at all practical. Not trying to rain on the parade, just think that we should confine this discussion to what InSight is really going to be capable of doing. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
