And if they'd been to Earth before-didn;t they know it was full of germs?  Wouldn't a scouting mission been helpful?

I'm guessing the germs were more benign in the older environment, before they had to mutate so many times to adapt to humans, but then I'm not really educated in that sort of thing

They focused on pollen in the movie if memory serves me, I know the ending that Morgan Freedman spoke, but the movie showed pollen ... so one could assume they came down with hay fever, which would have been around million of years ago too.

Spielberg's thoughts during production: Hey!  This would be the perfect film for me to vent my worries that I wasn't a good enough father.  I'll have to cut a lot of the Martian scenes out to make room for that but what the hell.
