Robotic life is not an oxymoron

SPACE PROGRAM

RRT 6: Reconnaissance Robot Type 6.
RRT 6 was sent to the outer edge of our galaxy to do a flyby examination of a certain planet there for NASA, to determine various statistics, and of course, the everpresent search for water, and ultimatley, extraterrestrial life. It ( or she, as ships are reffered to as "she.") never got there.

RRT 6's primary engines burnt out after three quarters of the trip and the backup ones never fired due to a malfunction.

Life thrives wherever it can, but who says what life is and isn't? Isn't it justifiable to say that anything sentient, anything self aware, can be classifed as life?
RRT 6 lived, lived in this way after her main computer had calculated it was futile to try to get anywhere or to finish it's programmed mission, and had turn it's proccesors elsewhere; mainly, what was it doing in the middle of an asteroid belt? RRT 6 will live on it her way, for many many years after, not rusting ( no air in space, dontcha know) and not denting from the asteroids bouncing on her thick hull. She'll have nothing to do but think, and develop a personality ( strictly as a last resort, of course). She's thinking now, admiring the icy beauty of space and distant planets in a robotic fashion, wondering if her backup engines will kick in and where asteriods and planets and everything comes from.
She'll think, and ponder, and stay up there for a very long time.
