RWE,

It’s more than attitudes; being there requires better sensory inputs than black and white TV. I think this is still the reason we’ll need humans in the seat for most missions in the near future.

Though there’s a UAV advantage in long term observation, where sensors could wake the drone pilot up when something intersting happens after hours of nothing happening. This seems to be most applicable to desolete places like Afgh.
