Space expansion can solve all nanotechnology abuse and accident<br />problems.<br /><br />Assuming more than one space colony expanding out in space in<br />different directions, and assuming one or more has a runaway nano-<br />assembler problem; well, since the nano-assemblers are confined to<br />the given spaceship, they won't spread to the other space colonies<br />since there is 'space' between them. What's more, space radiation<br />and the nano-assemblers eating on each other will eventually make<br />that mass harmless as far as any further nano-assemblers continueing<br />to run amok. Almost any collision with massive rocky and even ice<br />bodies throughout the universe will result in extermination of the<br />lunp of runaway nano-assemblers. Assuming that maybe general space<br />conditions don't finish the job actually leads to how space<br />expansion of many space colonies overcomes nano-terrorism.<br /><br />A given space colony with nanotechnologies will have the means to<br />detect particles of all types really from general atoms and<br />molecules radio astronomers have been studying for decades now.<br />They should be able to detect the odd signature of a stray nano-<br />assembler out in space. A stray nano-assembler out in space should<br />raise a few eyebrows anyways; if they don't, it's their fault for<br />not allowing thinking to occur. Assuming a given space colony's<br />intellect hasn't been dimmed by irrationalists to the point of<br />ignoring outerspace, they have various means of defending oneself<br />from stray nano-assemblers(possibly nano-terrorism); they can use<br />nuclear, laser, or an intense radiation shield; or even Utility-fog.<br /><br />Definding against nano-terrorism(at least from those outside a given<br />space-colony) has actually been delt with already. Space colonies<br />expanding away from one another out in space has one more benefit<br />for overcoming nanotechnology accidents. Basically, out in space,<br />nanotechnological accidents can be almost 100% overcome by making<br />nano-manufacturing ejectable out into space; if a nano-assembler<br />gets out of control, then detectors can tell say the rocket that the<br />nano-manufacturing unit is on to rocket off out in space; from<br />there, one can nuke, laser it; or, one could have the grey-goo mass<br />pointed at a local star(whether a nuclear burning star, or a newtron<br />or black hole!).<br /><br />Seems to me that space expansion is the only way to make our nano-<br />future safe as far as I can tell. I could go on and on about the<br />other benefits of human expansion out into space like overcoming<br />human's social propensity for becoming dogmatic which I would think<br />has been proven throughout human written history as a danger to<br />humanity . . . since after all, Humanity is the technologically<br />dependent species. Out in space, if a given space colony gets<br />ideologically split, they can split and go their separate ways;<br />those who are wrong with run into problems with themselves like the<br />way the Catholic Chrisitan church went through three bloody<br />revolutions during the dark ages.
