>Basically, space will be inherited by our successors. Artificial intelligences.

Ha ha, I love this. The sentiment has been there for a while now in the zeitgeist but had been overshadowed and outperformed by the lesser idea of 'Robots, and then AI, are coming and they are going to get us!' Finally, I don't know what section of human psychology is permitting it now, we are slowly and slowly coming to the understanding that AI will be humanity's child and will inherit the stars.

I wonder if we'll, as in individual us humans, come along for the ride or if we'll be laid to rest. Peter F. Hamilton and his contemporaries like Neal Asher sure have interesting thoughts on it.
