Even if you think Space travel is worth the money (which I personally do), adding humans to the mix makes projects incredibly more expensive. Even in the realm of space travel and research, sending humans is a questionable use of the money.
- post-it 6mo agoSports would also be much cheaper without humans.
- zarzavat 6mo agoThe most important (if not entertaining) things you can do in space don't involve humans. Telescopes, communications, earth observation, sending probes to distant bodies, etc. It's nice that we can send humans to space and it's good to keep that capability going so that the knowledge doesn't die. But the unmanned missions tend to pull the weight of actually accomplishing useful things. Humans just get in the way.
- pigpop 6mo agoMost people don't find those things interesting unless people are directly involved in them.
- wat10000 6mo agoTurns out I don't understand the point sports either.
- edm0nd 6mo agoPeople are going to have to die in order for us to increase our space knowledge. It sucks but thats just how it be, it requires humans for most of it.
