If there was any question as to whether I support my fellow former kama'aina (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/kama%CA%BBaina), former President Bill Clinton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_Clinton) dispelled my last doubt by pointing out that Hawaiian-made Barack Obama (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama) is pro-robot.
Apparently Obama believes our space program should focus less on manned flights and more on robotic missions, as pointed out by Bill (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/02/27/bill-hits-obama-over-hug_n_88769.html) when speaking about the differences between Barack and Hillary. I don't know if anyone normal would be swayed by that, but it works for me because I [heart] freakin' robots.

Sending robots into space is all well and good, sending actual people into space is critical.
The keyword is serendipity. We can send all the robots we want to the moon, to mars, to any of the other planets in our solar system and the next. But actually being there lets us learn something completely different.
I'd suggest you watch "From the Earth to the Moon." It's a 12-part mini-series that aired on HBO about 10 years ago and it's basically a recounting of the Apollo missions. There was a lot of learning that happened serendipitously, especially during the later Apollo mission.

But how does that contribute to my desire to see more robots? :)
