Thanks for the link. Makes me wonder, if life did come from space then we will have to start exploring space more seriously. The possibility of a aliens existing somewhere else cannot be ignored any longer.

Mind you... space exploration does not have to be interstellar. There are probably lots of interesting discoveries to be had here in our own backyard.
