The problem with the whole “life from space” is that cosmic radiation rapidly destroys complex chemical chains.

Wickramasinghe worked with Sir Fred Hoyle, he’s worked in this theoretical field for quite a while now.
I fear there’s little chance of discovering protolife or a bacterium in a comet, though. A theory it shall remain.

Likely, yes. Life exists inside rock, originated inside rock, and that would include any rocky planet or other rocky celestial body that contains some hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon along with other elements, IOW should be mineralized.

Might be one of those Navy surplus aluminum basses. If I tried that with my bass I would end with a pile of kindling.

Life began in the snot of an ancient and forgotten god and will end with the coming of the “great white hanky” of the apocalypse. Duh.

Sure it wasn’t a Mercury Comet? The ford variety were scarcer than hens teeth.

Panspermia.
Well, you know it wasn’t a term thought up by a feminist!
They would have called it the “Rape of the Innocent Universe”.
I kinda like it though, life in all it’s forms spreading across the cosmos, billions and billions and billions...
Sorry , it almost felt like I was channeling there for a second.

Mercury, yes....
Later on, my aunt had a ‘75 For Maverick, similar (almost identical) to the Mercury comet.
