Bacteria already won. Try cleaning that stuff off satellites and interstellar probes. Just found a great article in science news about it from a while back, which is worth digesting.

If bacteria band together, they can survive for years in space

Tardigrades went to space before most nations did. They will be there long after we perish if they get their way, little blighters.
