Ok saying that the robot can't be saved in any way I'd send it out anyway.(after having it teach me and the other crew members how to navigate)
It's just a robot. Even if it is self aware you can always manufacture more just like it.
Robot, but upload a copy his AI to the a database in the ship so you can access it on your way home.
Hell, its a robot so it will likely be repairable after its trip.

i voted robot because...well...dude its a robot...and i dont think they would only send a robot im sure someone has to be atleast semi-compitant to get us home
but if i could i would suggest the scientest attempt to make some sort of breathing apperatus
if not to help breath the acid-air of death then atleast keep it out of the airway for aslong as possible

Then why is the robot there? Why does it have this data, and why is it the only thing to have the data at all? If it's "not possible" to transfer the data, as you say, then that means, by definition, the data cannot be used on the ship. However, that data inside the robot is the only thing that will allow the crew to get home, as according the the OP it's all the navigational data and whatnot. Meaning that if the data can't be transferred then the crew can't get home, so they'll all die anyway and the foliage is of zero use, thus refuting the entire point of the thread and original question from the start. It's basically a paradox of pointlessness, caused by your stubborn refusal to understand basic logic. So there must be a way for the data to be transferred otherwise the original question is completely meaningless.supagama said:
If you're going to post silly stuff like that in a logic debate then I'm not going to take you seriously, just so's you know.AnythingOutstanding said:
Guys, please don't try to argue logic with me. I had a housemate for one and a half years who did Philosophy and would argue logic and paradoxes with me regularly. I did Logic as a module at university last semester. I do various logic puzzles in my spare time. For fun. And I've done them since the age of, roughly, six years old, when I joined Mensa. I am a logic king. So you're going to lose this argument. Deal with it.
oh well it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make for the good of humanity.AnythingOutstanding said:
Depends on skills, if there is only;
1 gun
1 scientist
1 navigator
1 doctor
and some other useless people-I'd send the useless people

I'm not racist, but the logical one is the minority. Since he/she has no special skills and everyone else is valuable in one way or another. The non-asshole/non-logical solution is to send the bot, since "All life is sacred and it's immoral and racist to send out the minority! blah blah blah"
Also, the robot is self aware, so no question. I send the [strike/]token black guy[/S] minority.

i also took philosophy, so this is about to get interesting. the robot has a purpose of testing moral rights and wrongs, and THAT, my friend, is the true purpose of the experiment. and to answer your other question, the robot knows the navigation THE BEST. so there is a chance of survival, but its a major risk.Trivun said:
I have an equally brilliant moral choice scenario.
You are at home with your family (your parents, brother, sister and beloved family dog) when news of a Tornado sweeping through your county comes on the TV.
You all go down into your basement/shelter but the door won't close properly, so you need to nail it shut before the Tornado hits in about 15 minutes.
What do you use to drive the nails into the wood across the door, thus ensuring the survival of your family as a whole:
1) Your fists?
2) Your Father's head?
3) Your Mother's face?
4) Your little Brother's elbows?
5) A Hammer?
6) Your little Sister's kneecaps?
7) The beloved family dog?
8) Your Mexican gardener/maid?
edit: also the Mexicans are self aware, but they haven't done a full day's work yet.

Send out a Dexterous Anthropomorphic Robotic Testbed. The space people who sent us ought to have had us bring along an expendable robot. If not, then the scientist, because if I had a space team, then I would accept no scientist less than Gordon Freeman, who always brings an HEV suit.
