hubble shows galaxies that existed 700 million years and less after the big bang.
so it is also possible that long ago there was intelligent life. or several times.
and then it would also be conceivable that this life intentionally sended bacteria into space with asteroids.
I am curious if we find life in the solar system, like deep down in the water.
if so, I am even more curious about the analysis of its genes or a gene structure.
if we would have a common origin, this would be - just woooow.
this could indicate, that potentially our planet or the solar system was selceted for bacteria spreading.
selected like we are now looking for habitable planets.
