Better?

It's true that the thread has veered off course quite a bit. Initially, I interpreted the main topic as "probability of abiogenesis?"...

As you rightly say, the part where humans travel to another planet—the simplest part to calculate, dependent on the laws of physics...

It is instructive to see how much effort and complexity it realistically takes to simply transport a population of 1500 humans to the...

This is correct. Not only does it just happen, but is to some extent required for human health and proper development. Guts of mice...

That is considered directed panspermia. The original question of abiogenesis still remains. The assembly clean rooms for spacecraft...

Humans are bacterial colonies - everywhere we go they will follow

A civilization that colonizes other planets with its spaceships—can't that be called panspermia? If we succeed (colonizing other...

That's true, but I think the technological aspects of those challenges are already well within our capability. The aspects we still have...

The possibility of facing mass extinctions, such as a meteorite impact, wars, viruses, etc, presents a technological challenge. I doubt...

We don't have the technology to make our planet permanently habitable. We don't have the technology to make another planet permanently...

I guess you are right. Just a few days ago, almost 100,000 cricket fans packed into the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). If you can...

I think you underestimate the difference in scale and technical feasibility between living on a single planet and finding and moving to...

Perhaps it is a problem. Consider that the civilization that spotted a habitable planet in the distance has likely been traveling and...

It seems to me a no-brainer in terms of resources that any ship would carry the blueprint for life and not generations of live human...
