We could have tested the safety of a manned mission without people on the manned mission? How in the hell do we do that?

We could have taken picture's of the moon's ass.

There is literally zero reason for us to put people in space when we can send drones to do it.

No. If we want to explore the universe and learn more about it, this is necessary. Go watch hank greens video about it. I don't get why everyone's malding about science being done.

No, it is not necessary and is in fact harmful.

Humans are not going to explore outer space. It's way too complicated to keep them fed and alive.

It is way, way easier to send out technology and let it fly as far as it can...without having to support the meatbags.

You guys are the Philistines here, insisting on dragging humans to a non-human event.

There are several reasons to put actual people in to space.

They might be reasons you think worth it, but they do exist.

But it's super cool.

They’re there to gather data on the moon’s surface and how being on a manned mission affects the human body.

We already have pictures of the dark side of the moon, so the intention this time was for the human eye to view it, since it gets much more detail anyway.
