* when satellites, cameras, robotics and other high-tech sensors and recording devices can accomplish so much more. Putting a human on Mars is for vanity purposes only, it's really not necessary to perform the science or to learn more about the planet.

There are no humans aboard the JWST, and it's performing just fine without them. The satellites and robots and cameras and helicopter/drones sent to Mars are sufficient.
