Even if I agreed with you in this context (I don't -- hands inside space suits are clumsy, and eyes limited in what they can perceive compared to instruments), we can keep the people here on Earth operating the robots with ~1 second latency, and it will be fine. We even operate rovers on Mars with ~20 minute latency, and they've worked out well.
