Hi, Jack;

Don't think so.  For a meteor to strike one planet, (Earth or Mars...
or even a planet of another solar system... or even before this solar
system was more than a disk of dust), with enough force to send a rock
into space, where it found it's way to another planet, I consider
possible.  But for ANOTHER meteor to hit close enough to the landing spot
to knock the SAME rock back to it's planet of origin... that would have
to be the cosmic pool shot of all time!  (And that means TRILLIONS of
years!!!)  No, in the words of Spock, it is not logical.  The odds
against it are so high that not even a Cray - or Deep Thought, (of
Hitchiker's Guide), could compute it in 42 and 1/2 billion years!
 
Catchj you later... Keep l00king up!
