: These "free" molecules are building blocks for more complex organic matter, including amino acid precursors that may eventually be delivered to planets via asteroids or meteorites. Interstellar Free-Floating Planets (Rogue Planets)

Success criteria: >90% replication fidelity after 10 years with zero Earth commands. interstellar free

Interstellar Free inverts this logic. Instead of sending a single expensive asset, we propose sending thousands of gram-scale “seed” spacecraft. Each seed contains a compressed universal constructor: AI firmware, a 3D-printer of nanomolecular components, and a basic metabolism for harvesting energy and matter from diffuse interstellar medium (ISM) or protoplanetary disks. : These "free" molecules are building blocks for

For realistic ISM densities (( \sim 10^6 ) H atoms/m³), ( r \approx 0.02 ) probes/year per seed. Within 10,000 years, IF could saturate the Galactic disk. Instead of sending a single expensive asset, we
