It's not science, it's engineering. I don't think it's advancing science in a way that wouldn't be possible with a fraction of the cost without sending humans there.

The distinction is kind of meaningless, advancing our engineering capabilities in space is advancing the science.

And as I said, agreed on the concerns about cost and sending humans.
