This gives two (at least) political camps among geoengineers. The naturalists want to restore Pollux to its natural state, and might be able to use material from Castor to inoculate Pollux. The experimentalists want to make the most of the situation and go all out with terraforming, dreaming about all the scientific papers they'd be able to publish.
Also a fun twist. It would be a politics and cunning campaign.
