Subject: SETI toilet waste in outer space

It was mentioned that viable freeze dried bacteria was found
floating in orbit in outer space from the release of toilet waste
from the space station.
Bacteria usually absorb genes and chromosomes present in their
food supply. This means that human genetic material would be
present in the freeze dried bacteria. A comet could in principle
pick this up and take it to another star system
So that is how we ended up on earth...
