Touche. At least you can send another robot!
But in reality, the ideal system is probably a combination of built-in redundancy / spares for parts that can work that way; and then robots for the kinds of things that are too complicated to have a built-in failover.
Send up another [improved] robot. These missions are less costly than human missions. We get to iterate more often
Says who? And how? This seems like an unsubstantiated claim.
Launching to space is severely constrained by the mass you can bring up. You can send up multiple robots compared to the mass needed for all the food, life support ect, for a single person.
So again, [citation needed]. We don't have, and are no where close to, general purpose miniature lightweight robots, after all.
