"When we say 'controllable,' it means it's like a car; you can steer it anywhere on a flat surface, and drive it wherever you want to go.

Something that small might be able to travel to outer space on its own, and then go someplace, the moon or an asteroid, and then start terraforming or mining. It's all in the programming.
