The Stardust "dust' may finally put Dr. Fred Hoyle's panspermia theory to rest.

I'm amazed that the panspermia theory survives.
OK!...It has its promoters...like Barry Digreggario [soory if I misspelled your name, Barry].
But, seriously, I think that once it is established that no "organics" or biological
specimens are found amoung the cometary dust brought back by Stardust, that will
effectively kill the panspermia theory for good.
Sorry, Dr. Fred Hoyle.

cheers.
