Actually, reading it now, it says that you "win" if (as an 
alternative to eliminating all rivals) you are still alive 
when _any_ spaceship lands, even if its not yours.
(With a justification that you've survived all the centuries
and hazards, blah blah blah.)  But I'd say this is "winning" 
in a single-player sense only.  So we really need to consult a 
multi-player civ variant...
