Years ago I got a lot of questionable looks concerning my sanity when I brought up
the idea of meteorites being "the Johny Appleseed of of life on Earth" to
members of my astronomy club.
Needless to say it resulted in many,many comments of out rage.
They reminded me of how it must have felt to be among the first
to refute the idea that Earth was the center of the Universe.
Lucky for me my kind of thinking came in 20th century, back then they still burnt
people at the stake for being possessed by satin.
