"The Japanese space agency JAXA has announced that the agency will use the DNEPR space launch system to launch OICETS (Optical Inter-Orbit Communications Engineering Test Satellite). Initially OICETS was to be launched with Japan's H-IIA rocket, however the delay in its development and a lack of time in the schedule forced JAXA to utilize Russia's DNEPR system. For those who are too young to remember the Cold War, the DNEPR space launch system used to be Russia's inter-continental ballistic missile (ICBM). As you might guess, OICETS will be launched from a silo."
Unless there's a lone Russian mad scientist behind all of this, "the Russian's" is clearly wrong, as is "Russian's."

In summary: Most of the clay in the solar system is in comets. Therefore life evolved in comets.
Even assuming that life did indeed evolve in clay (a popular theory, but by no means the consensus), this argument doesn't convince me.

Modded informative? It's an obvious joke off of Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson's Dune prequels.
Sounds a lot like H. G. Wells's cavorite.
