If we're going with that analogy, moon is roughly simultaneously visited by many private companies, each bringing samples back, some paying lip service "we're totally be careful", some not.
Continuing with that analogy, there are other planets, moons, solar systems with perhaps bigger chance of finding life. The laissez-faire approach to bringing samples back continues, now strengthened by the "see, we visited moon, brought samples and we still live!".
