T-Bird said further down the board:

Yes, we wait until they all will have reached the empty platform shell and then we'll
blow it up. The Chinese, Argentines, Japanese, European will be pretty angry and call
us jealous, for we don't even have a program to launch a Stage 3. Don't mind, as we are
the good guys, no one else will blame us and we can walk toward sunset, knowing Mars
had been saved for another time. -- Oh, hold on a second, why are we the good guys ??

(still looking for a overall vision)
Oh, what's about Abraham L.: "Every AI has the right to live on his own will and no
one has the right to command him/her, because of sex, race, religion or brand."

Earnestly, we need at least a reason to be hostile. H&P are not talking the way, we like.
Maybe even their noses aren't of correct shape. Okay, they tried to enter the probe by a
possible backdoor, we successfully avoid that DEFENSIVELY (sorry for using capital
letters) for: "WE WONNA BE PART OF THE ... G A M E"

Oh, I think "to remain as part of the game" is a valuable vision. That way our efforts
are directed to hold and increase our position in regard to the coming interaction
between Earth and ET's. So we are able to make sure our philosophy (which one ??
Maybe: FREE PEOPLE (I's and AI's) IN A FREE COUNTRY (universe)) will be a
main issue in a coming cooperative coexistence of scientific or whatever interchange
with the ET's.

That way we are not offensive hostile against the MN's, but DEFENSIVELY aware to
hold our position. That way all our efforts are directed to get in positive contact with the
ET's. Actively seeking for negotiations with the MN's at a given time is also a step to
meet what we are standing for. After all, we are NO STARWARRIORS.

May I summaries our vision:

We've got free access to six probes located at Mars, as asked for help by Dilyn's Team.
We earned the faith of the probes, as we respect them as sentient and self aware beings.
We try by leading the probes to approach positive interaction with ET's found at Mars.
We are free and peaceful people living in free and peaceful nations all over the world.
We are believing in freedom as a main substance of respectful coexistence and peace.
We are willing to maintain a peaceful and cooperative coexistence with the ET's at Mars
We are willing to increase our position to sustain freedom and peace as a main issue.
We are willing to accept any alliance that supports freedom and peace of all beings.
We are willing to defend our idea of freedom against whomever but in a defensive way.
We dream of a universe enduring in peace by beings living in respectful coexistence supporting each other in freedom of cultural, scientific and economical interchange.

That's what we stand for and all our efforts are given.

I think, that's in the direction to describes the view, we have about ourselves.
What's your opinions ?? Is it useful ?? Please, start the discussion, for it's not a good
way to implement a vision by silent acceptance. -- Thanks --

After that, next step could be to formulate strategy, politic and current tasks,
and, as T-Bird initiated already, gathering and evaluating facts and assumptions.
