We conclude that it is possible that life reached the earth in this way, but that the scientific evidence is inadequate at the present time to say anything about the probability.<ref>http://www.spacedaily.com/news/life-04zzz.html</ref>}}

==Directed Panspermia and Science Fiction==

Directed panspermia is a major theme in a number of science fiction television shows.  Gene Roddenberry's ''Star Trek: the Next Generation'' has one episode positing panspermia as the origin of life for a number of species, and building on this idea to suggest the need for peace amongst those species with common ancestry.  ''Stargate SG-1'' also suggests all humanoid life is the result of panspermia from a predecessor, master humanoid race called only the "Ancients."
