Interestingly in many astrobiology threads quite a lot of commenters use the racemic nature of organics on bolides as some trump card against the possibility of panspermia on earth. In this article we see that distinction is instead meaningless and merely salt conditions are sufficient to influence chirality in molecule formation from a homochiral or racemic state.
