gollark: Wait, what would we actually find out?
gollark: Launch *us* or a probe? I vote yes for the probe.

gollark: On the one hand, you can get more miners. On the other, they have to ship everything back, and coordination/control is a problem.
gollark: Come to think of it, it would make more sense to only have a few universal constructor factories and have them produce non-replicating miner probes.
