It seems to me that putting people into space was always more of a bragging rights thing. It's difficult and dangerous and you basically spend 90% of the effort just to get them there and back. Robots are less fragile, they can be designed specifically for an environment, and they don't need to come back. Plus it's not a national tragedy if a few of them get blown up. Less effort just to get there means more time and resources to do cool stuff once we're there.
