It's amazing that, with all of the world's technology, simply landing on the moon is still such a difficult task.
And people expect us to colonize other worlds? When is that going to even begin? I have absolutely no faith in a manned Moon mission at this point, let alone a manned Mars mission.
I would think manned missions would be slightly less prone to this type of issue. Having a person with a brain and hands next to the machinery means that minor issues that are impossible to solve from millions of miles away become trivial (ie. a connector comes loose: just put it back in, dust on the solar panel: wipe it off). It has its own set of dangers of course, but autonomous rover issues don't necessarily translate 1:1 with manned missions.
