What was the primary reason for launching the Voyager probes in 1977, and how did this timing benefit their mission?

They were launched to study the Sun's solar flares during a period of high solar activity. They were launched to take advantage of a rare planetary alignment that allowed them to efficiently fly by multiple outer planets. They were launched to orbit Jupiter and Saturn permanently for long-term observation.

SPACE EXPLORATION Mars Exploration Human Missions to Mars

What are some of the main challenges that differentiate human missions to Mars from robotic missions?

Human missions are easier because astronauts can fix problems on-site, unlike robots which are fully autonomous. Robotic missions are more complex because they need to carry humans' food and water supplies remotely. Human missions require life support systems, protection from radiation, and solutions for long-duration space travel, unlike robotic missions.
