There are pretty good arguments for doing science with unmanned probes, not the least of which being bang for the buck. However, *nothing* can capture the public imagination, elevate the morale and interest of the public in science, like manned spaceflight and real live humans doing on the spot science. There is a need for both, and both should be done.
