Thomas Kirby Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 Robots don't need air, food, or water, but we have spacesuits that work and vehicles that can maintain human lives for extended periods. We don't have robots that can do the work that humans can do.
CPL.Luke Posted August 21, 2005 Author Posted August 21, 2005 but if you build one capable of doing the work a human can do, you'll find it would be alot cheaper. also cutting off large chunks of asteroid and then bringing it back to a ship would be extremely difficult for a human
