Frozen on earth isn't even close to the harshness of space.
Not to mention expert botanists getting a few seeds to germinate isn't even close them surviving on their own after crashing on an alien planet.

The only things I can imagine having any chance of surviving such a scenario are very hardy encased in stone archaea.
But they are so distantly related to us as to almost require their multi-billion year descendants be as alien as unrelated aliens with similar biochemistry.
