Philosophy Wire: 2010-11-03 The first robonauts will be launched with the Discovery space shuttle. Robots will start coexisting with humans in the International Space Station and - most probably - those robots will be the first to explore Mars (after the auto-mobile explorers already sent there). If robots manage to explore other planets, will we take credit for it? Progress or Dehumanization? Since robots have started sending emails on their own (auto-reply is true for all multimillion companies) who is the real sender of the message? If robots start writting novels, who will be the writer?
