Default BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Earth could seed Titan with life

"Terrestrial rocks blown into space by asteroid impacts on Earth could have taken
life to Saturn's moon Titan, scientists have announced.

Earth microbes in these meteorites could have seeded the organic-rich world with
life, scientists believe.

They think the impact on Earth that killed off the dinosaurs could have ejected
enough material for some to reach far-off moons like Titan."
