The โMarsโ article is the worst one Iโve read in 5-6 years. Itโs just High Bozo.
The reality is that all the exploration done by rovers in Mars in all of history couldโve done by a team of 5 humans in a week*. Robots donโt look like such a bargain then, do they?
*I stole this from some article I read 10-12 years ago, but canโt find now.
