> How is it "grossly incorrect"?

Perhaps it's not glossly incorrect, but I classyfy it as "super ultra mega misleading".

I'd like a title like "*Cyanobacteria survives in water contamined with martian soil"

HN title at the moment is: Researchers Find Microbe Capable of Producing Oxygen from Martian Soil

Article title at the moment is: Microbe That Could Turn Martian Dust into Oxygen

Neither of those are particularly misleading, but requires you to read it carefully I suppose, otherwise it can misleading I suppose. I guess "Martian Dust" is the most misleading part of the quote, as the soil isn't actually Martian of origin, but actually "materials that are similar to Martian soil".
