This is why no one has scaled the peak of Everest or stood on the South Pole. It's also why we still do bloodletting and watch our friends and relatives die from common diseases and infections.
I for one want to soar to the heavens and experience it first hand, not vicariously through staring at a screen full of numbers. Exploration is a human experience, not just a way to get grant money to invest for retirement.
Nobody scaled Everest until they were confident they could get back down. The same for the south pole (although that didn't turn out as well as Everest).
