"Go colonize Mars instead".
What was the point of the mission? To save humanity.
How? By evacuating all of Earth on huge space stations to another planet, accessible through a black hole near Saturn... And you need to gather data about the singularity to finish the antigravity equation to do it.
1 direct trip from Earth to Saturn = 8 ROUND trips from Earth to Mars.
So... "Go colonize Mars instead".
Also, the robot design was very impractical.
P.S. Who colonizes/lands on a planet with a "1 hour = 7 years outside" time anomaly?! Pointless suicide!.
