It is also cheaper in many ways, since a human crew needs many things to stay alive including food, water, air, and bathroom and sleeping facilities. All of these require making a spacecraft bigger and heavier and therefore harder to get into space. You also do not have to have a return trip for an unmanned probe. A probe can be made to stay in space or on another planet and collect data until it stops working.

What do crews often use to reach the space station?

Up until today, they used the Shuttle. Since this was the last shuttle mission, they will need to use the Soyuz space capsules until NASA comes up with a replacement vehicle, which is not even on the drawing board.


How many people can travel on a spaceship?

The number of people who can travel on a spaceship varies depending on its size and design. Spacecraft like the International Space Station can accommodate six people, while larger spacecraft like SpaceX's Crew Dragon are designed for up to seven passengers. Future spacecraft aiming for interplanetary travel may accommodate larger crews.


What happens to the International Space Station when the Shuttle is retired next year?

After the Space Shuttle is retired in late 2010, the International Space Station will still continue to operate as usual. By the time the Space Shuttle is retired, all of the major components of the Space Station will be on orbit, so it will finally be complete. Crews to the space station will need to be delivered solely by Russia's Soyuz spacecraft, although if Project Constellation continues as planned, the Orion spacecraft will be used to deliver American crews. Other vehicles might also be developed to deliver crews, because it's expensive for NASA to buy seats for American astronauts onboard Russian spacecraft. Supplies will be delivered to the Space Station through Russian Progress supply crafts, Japanese H-II Transfer vehicles, and European Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) spacecraft.
