Quoth decrepitoldfool ...

It costs about the same to send a robot probe to Mars as to send one astronaut to the ISS.

Quoth *** Dave ...

Yeah, but would you get a robot probe throwing a boomerang around?

Honestly speaking, I dislike the astronaut-vs-probe argument, because, IMO, we should be doing *both*, and to do only one or the other is to let the budgetmakers get away with an "easy" choice.
