lithopanspermia

I was reading io9 earlier today and came across this nugget of a word:

lithopanspermia - The theory that life can be carried between planets on rocks ejected by impacts.

What a great theory - reminds me of Leary's Starseed and Woodstock lyrics:

"We are stardust
Billion year old carbon
We are golden
Caught in the devils bargain
And weve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden"
- Joni Mitchell
