Plucky little space robots
In contrast to yesterday's entry, let's mention the Cassini space probe. The Cassini-Huygens Mission is already returning great data from Saturn and its moons and in a few days will assume parking orbit for four years worth of exploring!
Let's imagine the expense of sending humans to do something like this. Staggering, eh? Robots are cheap, very cheap.
