NASA's Parker Solar Probe achieved the closest flyby of the Sun, sparking debate on the future role of humans in space missions.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe recently flew past the Sun, marking the closest approach by any human-made object. The mission aims to study the Sun and its impact on Earth's space weather. This success raises questions about the role of humans in future space missions, with some scientists arguing that advanced robotics and AI could replace human astronauts due to their efficiency and cost-effectiveness. However, others believe humans are essential for complex research and experiments, with AI and robots complementing rather than replacing them.
