Ok, as a biologist, this is actually INSANE because the implication is crazy. If we found amino acids and ribose sugar on an asteroids from a foreign planet, it can imply the following things: life is prevalent in the universe, life on earth could be brought down from an asteroid from a foreign planet and didn't need to evolve completely on earth, life evolve in similar ways on different planets and that the recipe for life is the same! The last one is insane because that means the chemistry that is possible for life is narrow, and that if aliens exist, they would have similar biology at the molecular level as us. There are too many things to unpack here but this is insanely fascinating and scary at the time.

I’ve been having this imagination that asteroids are like universe sperm and planets are like eggs and when an asteroid lands on a planet, it conceives a living planet

All I'm thinking of now is a planet with life that was ripped apart by a supernova.
And now I'm sad.

Seems the only thing separating life is literal space and time. At such vast distances that we can’t comprehend. The more that is discovered the more it seems life is pretty much inevitable.

So basically asteroids are little dandelion fluffs, planting seeds of life on otherwise unsuspecting fertile soil of random planets?
