teleoperation

Dennis, astronauts are not going to be out on Mars driving tractors or shoveling things, they'll be in their habs doing most of the teleoperation, with guys in suits mainly replacing electronic parts and the like.

By eliminating the up to 40-minute round-trip communications delay with Earth, teleoperation would give scientists real-time control of rovers, aerobots and other sophisticated instruments, thus greatly expanding the scientific return at these destinations.

Earlier when I noted the possibility of using teleoperation on Mars as well as the Moon, I wasn't suggesting we don't utilize the Moon robotically.

At the lunar poles the light delay and the communications systems requirements are small enough that just a few people, leveraged by teleoperation, can do an tremendous amount of work.

And even then, teleoperation makes your argument moot.

NASA could focus on teleoperation for the Moon, thereby proving out a very critical technology needed for Mars orbital (Phobos, Deimos, surface) operations.

By eliminating the significant communications latency/delay with Earth (up to 40 minutes for round-trip data exchanges with Mars), teleoperation would give scientists real-time control of rovers, aerobots and other sophisticated instruments, thus greatly expanding the scientific return at these destinations.

I bought up teleoperation because it was my impression that it is one of the Moon's greatest advantages.
