>>10072243Despite all our advances, robots are still pretty shit at most tasks compared to a human. That and the fact that the ultimate goal of space exploration is to colonize other planets/stars.
What we could do though, is build a Martian space station and use telepresence to manually control robots on the surface.
The reason Mars rovers have accomplished relatively little all these years is because there's a several minute signal delay to Mars, which makes controlling the rovers extremely slow. Just imagine trying to play a video game with a 800000ms latency. With a Martian space station you could cut that down to seconds, maybe less.
