15. I actually thought a lot of the dumb things people did is exactly what a corporate crew would do

This was not a NASA crew of top notch scientists with good leadership, it was a mix of people with different agenda's who ended up causing really bad group cohesion and the kind of problems you would see with poor leadership and people who were very different, some just there for the money. I also think the scientists would most certainly want to bring back part of the alien into the ship and study it.

As far as touching the black goo, that was Dave the robot who was following his master who was willing to take a lot of chances with everyone else's lives because it was really all about ONLY saving his.
