> I wonder if there's any living on comets? Wikipedia article on nematodes: Nematode worms (C. elegans), part of an ongoing research project conducted on the Space Shuttle Columbia mission STS-107, survived the re-entry breakup. It is believed to be the first known life form to survive a virtually unprotected atmospheric descent to Earth's surface. If we wanted to shake things up a bit, maybe we could just shoot a bunch of rocks full of nematodes in space. I’m sure some interesting things will come out of it a few billion years later!
