Actually, that sounds like a really interesting experiment: take a meteorite.  Pound it to dust.
(Nothing rare, hopefully).  Plant a seed in the dust and water it with distilled water.  See if the
seed manages to grow.  I'd like to see that experiment done.  (Maybe even do it with more than one
type of stony-- a ordinary chondrite and a carbonaceous, for example).  Heck, I'd try it myself with
a small piece of 869, but I don't have the type of equipment I'd need to fully powder it.
