Pro-Tip: This also works with muffins and your wife if you want to seed her with life.

Usually I'm sarcastic on these sort of posts, saying space isn't real, or the moon was made up by Stanley Kubrick as a way to to funnel money away from NASA so the Soviets would win the space race, but for once I'm going to be serious.

I honestly think the idea of panspermia is far-fetched at best, and pseudoscientific at worst. I think there is very little evidence for it, and I think it is a way of passing the baton off when it comes to the origin of life on Earth, and elsewhere.

It is certainly a neat idea, definitely one that will get nerds rocks off, because the hippy pothead Carl Sagan, and the gentle science negro Neil Hussein Tyson both talked about it, but it is a theory that really doesn't mean fucking anything.

"How did life start?"

"It came from a giant rock that fell onto earth."

"How did life start on that rock?"

"It came from another Earth-like planet."

Kinda circular logic that doesn't really explain anything, yeah?

That being said, I didn't read the article.
