What could go wrong?

  Not nearly as much as you're implying

    The storyline, and even the first picture do mirror a lot of doomsday/virus/zombie/etc plots. I'm sure that occurs to just about everyone that reads it. A pointer to some credible source as to why it's not dangerous might be interesting. Even being somewhat reasonable, scary things like prions do exist.

    At the bottom of the article it briefly mentions bringing back stuff from other planets, and that stuff could include extremophile-like life: "It is assumed that such life would be hardy - to survive the trip to Earth; not easy - and precautions taken would provide a very high degree of containment." So yeah, what could go wrong?

  Since they thrive on inorganic matter, we might be able to harness some of them to deal with electronic waste :)

    Sounds like the solution to the gray goo end-of-the-world scenario: Have the bacteria eat the gray goo. Tho, we'd then probably end up with an uncontrollable green goo problem ;)
