That's a scary and strangely alluring angle.

Our robot-progeny. Our electric, self aware children of the mind. Able to switch to stasis mode for long inter or intra stellar voyages.

Now, if we were to program them to go and find us a new home, carrying with them cryogenic-ally preserved genetic materials with which to recreate us.

and of course we would need other robots to raise us and teach us what we taught them.

lets do it!
