Hi all - One of the reasons why panspermia etc. play such a role in debate regards some peoples' obsessions with manned flight to Mars, and the problem of back-contamination.
Bottom line: we don't know. Other bottom line: it's not all that important to know right now. I read with frustration and anger reports of NASA proposing to spend $4 billion on the question of life on Europa, while spending as near $0 as they can get away with on finding the next piece of space crud headed our way. Could someone fire Weiler now? Tomorrow morning?
