Alain Fournier https://www.scribd.com/doc/212158958/Asteroid-Mining https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20141...s-in-our-stars A solar powered self replicating machine system that's propelled by a solar powered ion rocket that masses under 300 kg - can be launched for under $1 million - as a secondary payload - and make its way to any Earth crossing asteroid. Once there, it grows to encompass the asteroid and return the rare materials to Earth. |

I agree swarm robots will revolutionise mining. I disagree that they do not exist.

These are absolutely not self replicating like you originally asserted. Jeff -- All opinions posted by me on Usenet News are mine, and mine alone.

O'Leary, eds., Space Resources and Space Settlements, NASA SP-428, 1979, pp. 257-274. http://www.islandone.org/MMSG/aasm/chapter5.htm Island One is mostly filled with crazys like yourself. Theories on top of theories. From your reference (from 1980?!? Holy crap, that's old!), emphasis mine: Given that in THEORY, machines can construct duplicates of themselves... CAN all machine functions required both for production and for replication and growth be implemented? http://www.rfreitas.com/Astro/Growin...actory1981.htm Also very dated (1981?!?). Furthermore, your reading comprehension sucks rocks. From your reference: Before embarking upon such an ambitious undertaking it must first be shown that machine self-replication and growth is a fundamentally feasible goal. So self replicating machines do *not* exist according to the paper you cite. Do you even *read* your sources, or just skim them for the bits that agree with your delusional world view? http://io9.gizmodo.com/how-self-repl...gal-1463732482 The third begs the question why haven't we encountered self replicating *extraterrestrial* robots. No big surprise there, it's an io9/gizmodo article. Also, no evidence that self replicating robots even exist on earth. It's all just a thought experiment. Conclusion: You're an idiot. None of *your* cites say that self replicating robots actually exist today. You're spouting decades old theories that have not yet come to fruition.
