How to Colonize an Asteroid
There are very few computers which could truely be said to have intelligence, but there are a few. Most people refer to this as "artificial" intelligence, but there is nothing artificial about it at all. I prefer to refer to it as machine intelligence. It does not matter if a thing is a living being or a machine - intelligence is simply a measure of a creature's ability to interact with, (or control), it's environment.{R.40.10}
