who is this "we" you keep talking about?

you don't speak for me.

you are NOTHING.

who are you trying to convince, and why?

controlling a single robot with a touch screen isn't news... it's a toy you can buy at thinkgeek for under $100.

controlling a robot SWARM is much much much more complicated. bandwidth / interference / latency become near instant insurmountable problems.

so when i say it's best to stay on earth, and point out the obvious truth that the only reason to leave is total destruction or the belief of it's inevitability, that comment gets moderated down, but when you say the same thing as a response to a response to my comment, then it's "Interesting".

science isn't about working towards a goal... that is research and development. the types of pure sciences required to make moving to a new planet work will not be realized under the motivation of inevitable destruction.

another person choosing the "convince people the destruction is inevitable" angle...

you can't prove to me that humanity hasn't simply chosen not to tell you where and how it exists elsewhere, because there is no reason for you to know, and many psychological reasons for you not to know.

i don't need a plan B. stop trying to preach.

so you are going with the "convince people the destruction is inevitable" angle.... much easier than actually destroying the earth's ecosystem....

landing on the moon doesn't capture the collective attention the way landing on the moon did. what's wrong with earth? why the need to leave? lots of open space left if you don't like your neighbors. the motivation you're looking for can only be obtained by first destroying the earth's ecosystem, or convincing others the destruction is inevitable.

NOTICE: no robots swarms were actually controlled in the making of this story
