I find that hard to believe, from the engineers I have met I find it very difficult to imagine software built in India working.

The problem with Von Neumann probes is they couldn't land on a planet like Earth and use it as a launching off point since the escape velocity is too high for a simple probe to produce off of whatever it can extract from the soil. If a
