The game alpha centauri is a lot more applicable here. However what you are talking about requires future technology. You would need self repairing machines for that. While this is arguably semi-feasible (design machines to be more modular and therefore serviceable by robots which could swap modules) they don't exist yet. And once they do we will be too busy dealing with the upheaval from the destruction of service jobs to think about colonizing other planets or moons.

Merchants that accept one kind of Visa credit card wouldn't have to accept all Visa credit cards, for example. Under the current talks, credit-card acceptance would be divided into several categories including rewards credit cards, credit cards with no rewards programs, and commercial cards

If it's not clear which cards will be taken where based on the logo, then those logos will be devalued. Whichever processor STOPS doing this first will win.

Source code is the what/how, whereas documentation, manual pages and other records are the why/who/when/where.

why/who/when/where is irrelevant without what/how, which tells us which one is more important.

We know a lot of the why/who/when/where, what was missing was the what/how. Now we have more what/how, so finding more of the other stuff is what's more important. But that's not because what/how isn't most important, it's because we have it now.
