Detailed explanation-1: -In paragraph 7 in the article “Humans Should Stay Home and Let Robots Take to the Stars, ‘’ what rhetorical device does the author use to support her argument that space travel to Mars is dangerous for humans? The author uses an anecdote to support her argument.
Detailed explanation-2: -Robots don’t need to eat or sleep or go to the bathroom. They can survive in space for many years and can be left out there-no need for a return trip! Plus, robots can do lots of things that humans can’t. Some can withstand harsh conditions, like extreme temperatures or high levels of radiation.
Detailed explanation-3: -F But if space is to be more than a place to build automatic laboratories or set up industrial enterprises in the vicinity of our planet, the presence of humans is essential.

Instead, “we will transition from large, heavy robots and satellites to ‘nanosats’ and small, networked robots” that can be deployed cheaply by the thousands.
