Interesting question - hard to answer. Considering the imperfection of human beings and of our science, despite its advances I would say I tend towards no. If you look how we are destroying our planet earth, it is always that there is one need (Energy/Oil) out of many that is considered and then tried to fulfill, ignoring other needs like clean air for breathing. Unless we humans learn to act with consideration for the system as a whole, what makes you think it would be different with strip mining mars for platinum for example. Just because we do not know what the function for the mars platinum is up-there or in the entire solar system doesn't mean it doesn't have any. Unfortunately I have lost my faith in any wisdom of the human race as a whole. However, I hope and still am willing to be proven the opposite.
