It has nothing to do with fanboy or not. I’m sure there are tons of challenges involved in making this happen, but I just don’t think a cargo satellite is fundamentally very exciting.
Having a human in orbit of mars would make the whole process of retrieving rock samples orders of magnitude easier.
