We need AI and space colonization

We need to explore our Solar System. We must create means of traveling safely and securely to other celestial bodies. Once we start exploring and inhabiting other places, such as planets' moons, we will have a secured and maintained thumbprint that identifies that humans ever existed.




The intelligence of artificial intelligence today, in 2004, is insufficient and it does not even come close to the intelligence of a common person. We are way behind schedule, the rate of advancements of A.I. have been slower than the promise of A.I. Technology and exploration are the runners in the turtle and the hare race. Right now, technology is the turtle, because it is the defining means of exploration, and it moves very slowly.




Artificial intelligence can aid in reaching univisited planets and the moons of those planets. Human bodies are not designed to withstand the requirements of space exploration. They are very demanding and very inefficient. Humans should build A.I. and use it to explore and create new worlds.




We need to replicate the human mind. We need to scan the brain, its functionality, and store it in a non-biological medium, a medium that is replicable, persistent and efficient. We need to scan people, and store their precious personnae, their mind, their thoughts, their personality. Then, we need to create space ships, controlled by A.I., which will travel to different planets, create habitats for people, and then build humans. After the humans are built, their personality needs to be transferred back into the biological bodies, for the continuation of our human species.
