| a machine lifeform
could colonize the entire milky way galaxy
using just today's propulsion systems
in a million years easy.
every plantoid would be a source of 'food',
resources to be exploited by factory 'bots.
every star, another source of energy to be harnessed.
they need never die,
just repaired, re-fitted, eternal.
ever growing, learning.
creating a universal network.
we just need to figure out how to create an intelligent computer and give it access to the tools and resources it needs.
maybe hitch a ride
after they go out first to prepare our way,
symbiots, cyborgs. |
