Should we terraform other planets if it means that we might be destroying undiscovered microscopic alien life?

Hey buddy
Actually, the first stages of terraforming should help learn if there even is any life — the first stage being to increase atmospheric density if it isn’t sufficient. Organisms may have gone into some form of hibernation and could be revived by the atmosphere being restored.
In general though so long as we can catch some of those organisms for study in labs, holding back from terraforming just because of microorganisms is a bit foolish, unless there’s a suspicion that they might somehow ruin the terraforming efforts. The time to hold back would be if there are more developed organisms that show some level of intelligence — but we’d have to be very careful there anyway, because we don’t know enough abut planetary ecologies to know if introducing Earth life could send one into a tailspin and ruin it.
