Special Episode: Panspermia

Could life have originated on some other planet?

Could life have originated on some other planet?
As a reward to the all the dedicated fans who completed our demographic survey, we released this special episode of Astronomy Cast. As promised, we're now releasing this episode to all of our subscribers. Panspermia is a controversial theory that life on Earth originated… out there. Maybe it started out in a cosmic dust cloud or originated from another planet, but somehow the very first lifeforms made the trip through the vacuum of space and colonized our home planet.

    Just a quick addendum:

    To the best of my knowledge, DNA is based on 4 "nucleotides", NOT "amino acids".

    But you still rock! Keep the 'casts coming!
