I agree.
I love the great leap from “It has water” to “helping lay the foundation for life on the planet.” That’s one small step for a sentence; one giant leap in logic.
I’m guessing that any organic material will have problems staying alive in space, plus being able to survive the entry into Earth’s atmosphere, and also withstanding the giant impact when it hits the Earth. That is one tough organism. The most this tells us is that there is / could be other organic life in the universe, which to me is far better.
We will never know how life started on Earth, and romanticizing like this is very unscientific (To me it’s the same as “God created life”).
