Robots will get there first because they’re cheaper, tougher, and politically easier to risk. A humanoid Mars scout is a safer stepping stone before sending people.

Robots may fetch data, but art is born of risk; remove it and the galaxy becomes a showroom, not a wonder.
Yes. The twist: robots de-risk the mission, but the real win is a simple, elegant loop where human intuition guides what the machines do.
