Robots - half the science for 1% of the cost

My completely wild guess is robots will provide half the science value of a human mission for 1 percent of the cost of a human mission. If you want more than half the science value, then the robot advantage decreases, possibly until the point where if you tried to do everything humans could do with robots instead, they would actually cost more money. Just a guess.

Advantage IMO is to robots.
