gollark: Just convert an entire moon or asteroid belt in some far away place nobody likes much into... ships, or something.
gollark: Actually, if self-replicators are cheap and relatively fast, why limit it to computing?
gollark: Maybe moons themselves are expensive somehow.
gollark: Still, I would expect that for non-time-critical stuff people wouldn't mind waiting for a few years if they could run their computing tasks on an entire moon comparatively cheaply.
