Proof that life *did* come from spores through space? Or proof that spores 
can survive indefinitely in space?  I imagine we'd have heard if they found 
the former, but the latter isn't difficult.

I didn't actually watch hours of the guy's video. I just know it's not hard 
to freeze-dry spores and revive them decades later with no apparent harm, so 
there's no reason to believe it's impossible that (say) RNA wouldn't last 
indefinitely if caught in a crevasse of a meteor blown away by solar wind.

Of course, the video game at this point has made it difficult to come up 
with search terms that'll find anything useful. Especially when you start 
getting things like NASA spokespeople demoing the video game.
