Uh, moron, why do we keep Humans onboard every major vessel plying the oceans and lakes?

Here's what's happened to /sci/ and the virgin-nerds: They see that Humans are retreating from spaceflight. They see that what's "happening" in spaceflight only involves robotic or remote controls. So they've conjured a stupid scheme in their masturbating brains that the only way it can keep "happening" is if robots and AI end up colonizing the solar system.

The sad truth is, if you're not going to send PEOPLE to live, work and play in space, then there's no reason to send anything else. These space agencies can keep up the pretense with sending robotic probes, but that's as far as it will ever get.

Always remember: Exploration needs to have a POINT. The point in exploring is to GO THERE, as people, to live, work and play. But energy and economic demands just PROHIBIT us from going anywhere beyond LEO. So it's not actually "happening". It will never happen.

Pic related, sort of. We prefer to have Carrot Top entertain us to death, using a rabbit, than expand into space for a glorious scifi future.
