This is pretty much the premise of Philip Dick's Second Variety, made into the movie Screamers.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't know that one had any kind of movie adaptation.

Screamers is surprisingly underrated. It's one of the best pop-sci-fi movies from nineties imho.

The ending to that story was particularly delightful.
