I know that I already posted my agreement with Koala, but something has been bothering me ever since... If there are humans, even violent, deadly, communist Chinese humans, in the C-Lander, what do we do with the C-Lander and/or the humans. Our probes have come to the conclusion that they can kill or destroy all the C-Probes because they have shown no signs of independent intelligence. But what about humans? We certainly aren't going to be able to convince the probes that killing humans is OK, even if we wanted to. So, if there are humans on board the C-Lander, we can't even destroy it, because it would be their life sustaining structure. But on the other hand, we cannot afford to have live humans, on the planet running around committing acts of guerrilla warfare against our probes either. Any suggestions?
