The first challenge will focus on finding innovative ways to allow deep space communications with small spacecraft, while the second focuses on primary propulsion for small spacecraft.
This is no different than booting a LiveCD and changing the Windows password from a Linux LiveCD running with access to the same storage device. This is not a flaw in AWS in any fashion, other than illustrating the trust you place in AWS having access to your physical devices. Why is this news? This is a standard if-you-have-access-to-hardware-you-can-have-complete-control-over-everything-on-it-not-encrypted problem.
Couldn't we just say 500gb up front and be done with it, instead of having a bogus multiplier on a meaningless size? What's next, "this hard drive holds 30 Library of Congresses, which are each 6x the capacity of a regular library?"
Many bacteria use metal reduction as its way of obtaining energy, in fact, and also obtain these metals from rocks, so... yeah, your point about bacteria seems false. (Iron, sulfer, selenium, sulfate, nitrite -reducing bacteria all exist.)
