[meteorite-list] More evidence of building blocks of DNA in meteorites

[MexicoDoug]

"NASA Research Shows DNA Building Blocks Can Be Made in Space "

Something about the title of the PR seems strange.  If they found some 
DNA/RNA nucleotide bases, then it's not "can be made in space", it is 
"are made in space".  If they didn't find any, then we are still with 
the "all the ingredients" are present, something which was already 
shown.

Is the question "Did it happen here, under Miller-Urey type 
conditions?", or "Was the meteorite delivered from the Acme Corporation 
in Fairfield, Mars, to Wile E. Coyote (Roadrunner cartoon character), 
"unpack carefully, to replicate life, just add water - Acme Inc."

e.g., http://home.roadrunner.com/~tuco/looney/acme/dehydrated.html

Kindest wishes
Doug
