Did life from Mars get to Earth? Will life on Earth get to Mars?
This post was the result of some Googling due to a unfounded statement I made about earth losing biomass every year: http://hubski.com/pub?id=1416
It seems we will lose some water bears this year, however.
One of the benefits of experiments like this is that they capture the imagination. You just have to know if the water bears made it. The space agencies should consider this when they plan new missions. Adding an element like this is a great way to get people interested.
Of course it is a really interesting question too.

It's disconcerting to think life on this planet could have evolved from something referred to as "Conan The Bacterium"! Great post.
