“… all three kinds of molecules needed to form living cells have now been found in meteorites and appear to have been made there…
Nucleobases, used to form nucleic acids that make up genetic material such as DNA. Amino acids, used to build proteins. Amphiphilic compoundsā which are attracted to water on one end and to oil on the otherā that are used to build cell membranes. … meteorites may have served as a molecular kit providing essential ingredients for the origin of life on Earth and possibly elsewhere.”
is it true that dna has been found in meteroites? and cystine clouds have been recognized in space??

i thought that was accurate
and certainly could have accelerated the process
we really live in a magnificant universe:)
So, constituents of DNA have been found, but not DNA itself…yet.
