Step 4 looks like it should come after step 5. Step 5 looks fun.

>I feel that the only exception to this situation might be due to a great need for humans to "experience it personally"; but unless the costs of space exploration can be surmounted by a small group of individuals that share this desire, I think this factor will not counter the obvious benefits of using robots.

Maybe competition between countries could be another reason. If China was to try, the US would have to try too.

This is just awful. I have to wonder if he thought he was right and made the results fit his beliefs, or whether he just didn't care either way and did it for the attention. Unfortunately the public mistrust of science is out-matched by its affinity for pseudo-science. I think that's a big reason why people were so quick to get behind blaming vaccines, i.e. science meddling with children.
