Russian space officials have confirmed traces of plankton and other micro-organisms were found living on the exterior of the International Space Station (ISS), and it appears they've been living there for years.
This was also reported by c|net and ITAR-TASS.
How does this affect your views on finding life of some sort elsewhere in the universe?

My guess is that green matter makes up the bulk of the missing mass of the universe.

As someone who has travelled recently I think it's a comment on airline food. It was probably a celebrity chef doing a TV special for the Russian space authority a decade ago, so there was a week in 2004 where the cosmonauts woke up to a TV crew and squid ink salad in quarter inch cubes with a green tea jelly for breakfast. What your measuring on the exterior surface of they ship happens to be downstream from the nearest evac port.
I wouldnt start worrying until it either looks like a man-sized suit of skin, eats thru the hull, or your android becomes more interested in getting a sample back to earth than say the copilot.
