Moss requires quite a bit of liquid water to actually reproduce, since (IIRC) their sperm need to swim around to mate. So we're left with, like, maybe Europa, if there's enough light and enough water gets into the surface via cracks? I doubt there's enough light under the surface, even if you found a moss species that can survive being totally submerged in whatever saltwater hellscape is under there. Basically there are still going to be huge problems for moss anywhere besides Earth. They already mostly stick to wet environments here.

A mechanism by which this could happen:

>A Martian meteorite is a rock that formed on Mars, was ejected from the planet by an impact event, and traversed interplanetary space before landing on Earth as a meteorite.

Fred Hoyle with Chandra Wickramasinghe have posited mechanisms for such events in their model of Panspermia
