Why though? We have robots exploring other planets and comets/asteroids and stuff, still sending data from beyond the solar system. We are places. What do we even get out of it that robots on other planets wouldn't be able to accomplish? If there was a new task humans would do, you could likely just form a way for a robot to do that task.

I'm no expert, but it seems that the tasks robots can do are rather limited. Especially considering that they're remotely controlled, there's a huge delay between command and action.

If we had humanoid robots that match us in agility and intelligence...Well, that'd be a completely different story.
