This. Humans are a terrible space faring species. I'm sure in a 100 years we'll figure out how to upload our consciousness into robots and build better space faring bodies.
I always think about Von Neumann probes. May be in a 100 years we'll figure out how to make them and we'll colonize the entire galaxy.
But first we need to figure out how to get to space in frequent reliable cheap trips.
- vtange 9y agoI kinda blame it on our sci-fi fiction: so far we cannot imagine a space adventure where there are no humans at the frontier. Even the most recent space-themed games and movies fall to this trope. It's almost an ego sort of thing - the main characters have to be human, which comes with all the drama of first-alien-contact, life support, etc. With robots, all that risk is mitigated since there's no risk of loss of life. At the worst we have our bots self-destruct or something.
