alt Hacker News> it seems implausible at first glance that these things would develop or survive in open space rather than here.
I don't think "organics developed in the vacuum of space" is implied. Survived? Well we have samples now confirming, if I'm understanding the basis for the discussion (the article).
We have some organic ‘building block’ compounds confirmed frozen on some asteroids.
But what we don’t have is any examples of them surviving re-entry.
We also have a massive amount of those same compounds already here on the planet.
Causality is… tenuous. But not impossible.
