THAT’S the time you want to send people into space – when robots can have your moon base and your L2 space station already there ready and waiting for you. I’d much rather wait for a time when our species can properly (and safely) expand into space than to go rushing-off to the moon just because China is doing it or prematurely head to Mars just because some people insist exploration is a “human” thing. It is – but robots do that best, too!

Tele-robotic construction seems like a good idea for pre-set up of space habitats, re-fueling systems, etc. The time lag will cause numerous problems until the systems can be made at least semi-autonomous. Even the Martian Rovers have demonstrated semi-autonomous driving capablity, until they got stuck in the sand.

This is a good first step, but serious work needs to be done on the soft ware side of things to make to make on-site, electronic decision making more effective.

It will be a good idea to have robots to do jobs up in space, it will be bad when they do everything for us on earth because the only people making money will be the big business owners, then we wont have to worry about mexicans taking our jobs, it will be robots taking them.

I have a deep interests in robots use for space exploration. It is obviously more practical to use robots than humans to explore. Robots don't need feed off of dead animals and plants to live. We need a lot of resources inorder to have any chance to survive off earth. It would be wise to explore cheap solutions to build the environments necessary for human survival. Otherwise it's a waste of money and time.

What if the rrobots screw up-intentionaly? If they put together a space station but didn't hook up the oxygen, and didn't tell the new visitors! That 1st cup of tea will be really ugly!

Obviously we need to send people along to supervise the robots and be able to take them out in case they disobey and start some kind of robot uprising.

How about Martian Robo-Slave Games as a snappy name for the new contest from Spaceward Foundation? Let the robots know where they stand.

How about this,.... lets send one or two technicians up to Mars with the robot gangs, the lag time is further cut down due to near instantaneous delivery of orders from the technicians.

Mass materials will not be needed to support a full human builder team and if the robots break down the technicians can bring them in and fix them. You will of course need to have a steady shipment of resources being sent and you will need some form of minature habitat available.

What do you think? Just a thought
