Morris was a big booster of the plan--until he wanted to put TV spots on the air and Roemer lacked the money to pay for them. "Dick wanted me to break my word," says Roemer. "I wouldn...
There is something to the panspermia theory, however. Even scientists who reject it acknowledge that some of life's building blocks probably had extraterrestrial origins.
