Okay, what is the real difference. Why is sending humans important?
Are not robotics many times more efficient money wise than sending a human? Robotics don't need near as much support as humans do, and can be sent one way without much moral quandary.
Can you imagine the costs and technology required to send humans out on a voyager mission.
- megous 7y agoRobots/probes can also be sent to more interesting places, or be equipped with sensors to actually "see" something interesting. We'll not send humans to the ground level on Venus, and humans would not see anything other than atmosphere from the orbit, compared to radar mapping of the Venuses surface, for example. I guess the main benefit of sending humans is that exploration/troubleshooting can be more real-time (for the people in the spacecraft).
