That's how the elements that make up the heavier molecules got into the proto-stellar cloud. Chances of even microbes surviving novae or supernovae environments are very small indeed--perhaps not impossible. By the time the sun goes novum, our descendants and those of our current microbes and other relatives will probably prosper in the outer regions of the solar system. Timing is extremely important and, on some scale, of the essence. :huh:
