Human flight is a waste of resources. I'd rather have real results now then wait another 30 years while politicians fight about the huge expense.

One of the better uses for #AI is to send semi-autonomous devices to locations around the solar system.

Until we have something like nuclear rockets, sending people into space is not a cost effective method of deep space exploration.
