I don't sense an impending disaster for one simple reason.
I really don't think they're going to be able to pull this venture off. It sounds like a neat idea, but in the end, the objections about how little we know of life will probably spell the death of this type of experiment pretty quickly. Unless one knows the origin of life and how it came to be, how can we expect to replicate it?
