You missed the Russian dude on the space station who tried to guide the
re-supply rocket in manually and just about took out the entire thing.

Humans have a place, but I have to aggree that robots are best in space...
At least for the first few trips. The real slammer is the cost
justification. The robots cost so much less due to lack of life support,
space requirements, etc...
