We can just send robots. Going is just a publicity stunt. In fact we never need to leave our couches. Going outside is always a publicity stunt. We can send robots every where then there wouldn't be any muggings, robberies, trafic accidents, etc. We'd be perfectly safe. But I'm going to Mars, see ya couch potato!
