[extropy-chat] Intelligent Design -- take *this*...

[Robert Bradbury]

I consider anytime one is moving matter from one dominant gravity well to a
different dominant gravity well that one is engaging in disassembly and/or
assembly.  The probes cited generally moved things from Earth's gravity well
into the Moon's gravity well.  We have been doing a fairly good job moving
material from Earth into the Mars and Venus gravity wells over the last ~40
years as well.  We even a few instances where we have moved things from the
sun's gravity well into the Milky Way's (or perhaps the local galactic
group's) gravity well.

I will freely admit that we have not been doing it in high volume (so
continued activity in these areas would require a very long time to observe
a significant effect).  However that all changes once one has designed
planetary disassembly & reassembly nanorobots.
