In yet another confirmation that panspermia is, in fact, possible, researchers have shown that lichen and bacterial spores are quite well equipped to survive major meteor blasts of up to 45 billion pascals. Cyanobacteria also survived up to 10 billion pascals, more than enough for many meteor bombardments. So, did we come from Mars? The researchers stated, "These results strongly confirm the possibility of a 'direct transfer' scenario of 'lithopanspermia' for the route from Mars to Earth, or from any Mars-like planet to other habitable planets in the same stellar system." I've written about the "red rain" of India a couple of times before, and I think we continue to show that it's entirely plausible that not only it, but also possibly us, came from off of this planet originally.
