These exploratory spacecraft are inexpensive. Only 10% of the NASA budget is spent on what does all the science - unmanned spacecraft. The 90% spent on manned programs has yet to be doing any useful science. $80billion on a space station that was only supposed to cost $8billion - and it still has never done any useful science.
unmanned robots don't need a toilet.
