Optimus will be the first Von Neumann machine, capable of building civilization by itself on any viable planet.: Elon Musk

That statement quietly reframes everything. This is not just a robot designed to work in factories. It is a self-replicating system in spirit, a machine that can use local resources, build infrastructure, and extend human capability wherever humans cannot yet survive.

If intelligence, mobility, and manufacturing converge into one platform, civilization stops being tied to Earth alone. It becomes portable.

This is how exploration turns into permanence.

Do you think robots will build the first cities beyond Earth before humans arrive?
