> offering more evidence for the theory that life on Earth was seeded from outer space.

This hypothesis seems to be getting more and more traction. There is an excellent recent video on topic from Kurzgesagt [0].

Interesting that neither the video nor the article uses the name panspermia[1] to refer to the hypothesis. I wonder why that is. Wikipedia also states that "[the fringe theory] is also criticized because it cannot be tested experimentally". Can't it? If we ever find an organism based on DNA compatible with organisms on Earth, wouldn't that validate it?
