I don’t support the conspiracy theory, but the shortage isn’t potential robotic missions, it’s money for missions.

- leksak 7y agoThis assumes the amount of funding would remain the same. Would it? Hell, if they found life on Mars I'd consider switching jobs to work on that. I'd be surprised if tax-paying people wouldn't be open to funneling more tax-money towards space travel. Human- or robot missions, regardless.
