Question

what do humans need to travel in space that robots do not need?provide examples from the text to support your answer

Answer 1

Answer: Both humans and robots are equally likely to explore space as there is no fundamental difference between human and robotic space travel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Humans (astronauts) are living beings, to stay alive they need to breathe, eat, and drink. Robots can travel in space without these restrictions. They can work more efficiently as they can travel farther, and do it more frequently because they don't need life support systems and are therefore less expensive than human missions. On the contrary, to install and maintain sophisticated scientific instruments and perform field research, humans must be able to operate in space.

Answer 2

Astronauts have to breathe, eat, drink and keep their demons at bay. Robots fly free of such constraints. They can do more, go more places and — because they don't require life support systems and are thus cheaper than human missions — do it all more often.
