It makes the NASA expirements kinda valid:

Scientists at NASA's Ames Research Center and the University of California Santa Cruz duplicated the conditions of interstellar clouds of gas and dust, which are the birthplaces of stars. They combined ordinary chemicals common on Earth and in space -- including water, ammonia, carbon monoxide and methanol -- and chilled the mix to near absolute zero (minus 441 degrees Fahrenheit or minus 253 degrees Celsius).

The chemicals froze into thin bits of ice. Then, just as a star floods an interstellar cloud with ultraviolet radiation, the researchers zapped their chemical soup with UV rays.

The icy mix transformed into more complex chemical compounds, as expected. But what happened next was a surprise.

When dipped in water, these compounds assembled themselves into membranes similar to those that protect living cells. While the structures are not alive, they show that chemical reactions in space are more complex than traditionally expected.
