Now to design them all like gobots so if they do crash into something all the parts can be programmed to reassemble into anything ground control dictates. Some spacecraft of the future might subdivide into smaller ones or connect with other craft into large ones. Makes comple sense.

Especially if the spacecraft spends any time away from Earth's protection. Keeping them alive in order to find new things for them to do is absolutely astonishing. Especially when it comes to finding extrasolar planets. Which for me, is the next best thing to controlling the electron!

It's very gratifying to learn just how ingenious scientists can be when it comes to not wasting money. I have to say that the 'little' news like this make me almost as happy as the big ones on Mars.

It's very gratifying to learn just how ingenious scientists can be when it comes to not wasting money.
