Why not eradicate the entire space program? To paraphrase you it is certainly cheaper and safer. We should not focus on robotic exploration of the universe at large because despite the facts that it may be cheaper and safer it certainly is not better. Could we construct a robot to do your job? Probably not. I imagine that exploring the complexities of the solar system and beyond are more daunting tasks.

Its called Skynet. But it is looking for terorists...like Sarah Conner.
