I don't think we are saying different things. I wasn't talking about current technology. Robotics is accelerating at a faster development rate than space travel. Ditto for autonomous AI. In 20 years time we won't be much closer to sending a human to Mars, but we will have some serious bit of robot hardware to send. It will be machines that colonise mars not humans.

A trained geologist would be infinitely superior to a robot but it is just too expensive to send a person to Mars so it's better to send a lot of cheaper robots.
