I'd imagine the fact that we are bound to biological form is a huge problem. You know, since that ends up killing us.
I have to disagree with you on one point.Shoggoth2588 said:
I'd classify Nature and Life are two completely separate things Nature is ALWAYS Life's biggest threat. So temperature, wind, gravity, and all the natural phenomenon that cause earthquakes, volcanoes, and exploding suns, would be Nature, and would be the biggest threat to Life.
That aside I'd say Viruses are Man's biggest threat. The question is, are Viruses Life or Nature?
The greatest enemy of mankind is physics! Every time we figure out how to best physics and further humanity, it finds another law to slow us down! Physics is the only thing stopping us from taking the stars!
This comment is, of course, a joke.

hubris
mankind as a species is sorta full of itself. We have a false sence of entitlement, and feel nature should bow to our wants and needs. We use the planet irresponsibly, with no consideration for the big picture
If we somehow survive ourselves long enough to leave the solar system, any external life we encounter will almost certainly be completely foreign to us. With our current attitudes, we wold most likely see it as more of an animal than another intelligent being. Even if we recognized the intelligence of the other species, our perception of them would cast them as immediately inferior, just because they are not us. This perception will pierce through any diplomatic attempts, which will most likely lead to hostility, and possibly war.
