Science fiction writer and host of Mars Pirate Radio, Doug Turnbull, has an interesting article about the future of robotic space exploration on Space.com.  He makes some strong arguments that the perceived conflict between robotic and human space exploration does not have to exist because the two can compliment each other.  He also makes some points about how the SLS boondoggle negatively impacts such efforts.  Check it out here: Why Robots May Be the Future of Interplanetary Research
