If the problem is loss of life and not material, I don't think we should keep with the "recruit the best of the best and send them there". Do it Australia style

If the problem is loss of life and not material, I don't think we should keep with the "recruit the best of the best and send them there". Do it Australia style: select prisoners and launch multiple missions: if 7 out of 10 fail, you still have 3 bases working. Too bad for those who died.
