This article about Darwin applied to spacecraft is pretty fascinating stuff. It sort of reminds me of the first Star Trek movie, crap as that was. V-Ger (Voyager) returning from centuries of change while drifting through the universe and wanting only to have a friend. It does make me wonder what would happen if one of these evolving craft got lost somehow or just how much it could change even during the course of a successful mission that went largely to plan.
