There was an x-files espisode where alien worms were in.a meteor that took people over and made them violent. They were only stopped by adding a second worm that resulted in them killing each other

There was an episode of Scorpion that dealt with this issue, but it was more about preventing the capsule from being opened.

It would be a trip if some low-cell organism that humans have No known exposure to and it went viral or bacterial😳

Eh it'd soon come into contact with our trillions of different bacteria and viruses living across countless species and promptly die.

We have the home-town advantage here.

I'd bet on my immeasurable lactobacillus hoards over a starving, freezing colony of space bacteria any day

That's one of the reasons they have it in a totally sealed atmosphere. The other more important reason is to make sure anything we find in the sample is actually from the astroid rather than from earth.
