That said, if we are going to be open to the possibility that we can open wormholes and use antimatter as a weapon (or fuel), I don't see why we would ignore the possibility that we discover a way to program sentience.

The incredible lunar TEMPLE: European space bosses reveal plan for 50m high 'dome of contemplation'- Perpetually sunlit peak close to the Moon's south pole
- Would be built on the sunlit rim of Shackleton Crater, near proposed lunar base
- 50 m-high domed structure Temple will be 'symbol of unity for humankind'
EUROPE'S MOON BASE PLANS
The European Space Agency's plans to build a village on the moon are part of a much wider scheme to explore the far-flung regions of our solar system.
Speaking at a recent conference, Esa boss Jan Woerner said: 'I think we should go first to the moon and then further on.'
He added that Mars should not be our ultimate goal and said he is 'quite sure humans will go further.'
