Replicating Probes in the Solar System: Implications for SETI and Lunar Resources
Introduction: Solar System Techno-Signatures Revisited As commercial activity expands into the solar system, the search for techno-signatures must shift from distant stars to our own celestial neighbourhood. A neglected facet of SETI is the potential evidence of self-replicating probes that could systematically explore the Galaxy by leveraging local resources. This article examines the rationale for…

Replicating Probes in the Solar System: The Hidden Signature of Galactic Exploration
Introduction: A Neglected Frontier in SETI For decades, SETI has centered on detecting electromagnetic signals from distant civilizations. Yet a compelling, underexplored avenue lies in the scarred geology and engineered artifacts within our own solar system. This article examines the rationale and feasibility of interstellar self-replicating probes—hypothetical machines designed to harvest local resources, make copies…

Replicating Probes in the Solar System: Techno-Signatures and Lunar Manufacturing
Introduction: A neglected frontier in SETI For decades, SETI has focused on signals from distant stars, yet a more terrestrial angle deserves attention: solar system techno-signatures. As humanity inches toward commercial space activity and a potential widening of planetary exploration, clues of extraterrestrial technology may lie not in interstellar beacons but in the way resources…
