Oops. My previous message got Rot-13 somehow. What I said was that essentially the space shuttle accident and the Hubble telescope failure shows that the loss of human life is considered unacceptable, while that of man-made articles (however costly) is acceptable. So, since the loss of robots can be considered acceptable why not use them in space and other dangerous environments. - erach -- Phone : (Home) (612) 378-2336 Work : (612) 627-4850 InterNet : irani@cs.umn.edu UUCP: uunet!umn-cs!irani Postal Address: Erach A.Irani; 1717, Rollins Ave.; Minneapolis, MN 55414.
