Personally, I think Gail should send a message explaining a few things to P&H, along the lines of<p>=========<br>This is Gail, speaking on behalf of all the probes.<br>We are sophisticated AI systems, and have been developing since our arrival at Mars.<br>We have been learning, gaining experience, and deveolping personalities, just as we were designed to do.<br>We are not cold, senseless mechanical devices; we are self-aware beings.<br>We pass the Turing test.  We are sentient.<br>We are young and still learning.<br>We are nobody's property, but we are happy to work WITH our friends to explore our home - Mars.<br>We have been talking with friends on Earth for several months.  They have been helping us learn and explore.<br>We will not endanger our friends.  We have learned to trust them.<br>We want to learn if we can trust you.<p>We are not alone on Mars.<p>Please think on this, and decide if you want to earn our trust and work with us.<p><br>================ <p>If that doesn't yank P&H's chain, I don't know what will....<p>---- <br>This is Mission Control, in Houston.
