We've found rocks/materials from Mars here on earth from impacts that knocked shit loose, so one-way panspermia isn't unlikely, two-way is possible, even if our atmosphere is thicker and gravity well deeper.

This could be stuff from earth itself, the first life forms from earth to colonize mars. Ain't that a kick?
