Why does NASA always send 1 robot to anywhere? You’d think if you’re going to go on a super long and challenging mission that you wouldn’t hedge your bet on 1 bot and instead launch multiple - at least 2 but up to 5 or something at once. Develop a compact deployment system and then deploy multiple bots for better survival. Also helps reduce production costs if you’re making more than one thing - I would think.

I guess they only got the money for 1 robot per mission plus, if the rocket doesn't make it into orbit they only lose 1.

Also, producing 2 robots is more expensive than 1, even though each robot may be cheaper
