In a bed. Right now it is easier in many ways to send out robots to explore the cosmos before we can send out man. Of course you know where I sleep. In a bed.

In fact NASA doesn't invent much except rockets. The actual development of projects like the Mars rovers is done by university professors like Steve Squyres, the prinicipal investigator for the Mars rovers. Steve works for Cornell University's astronomy department, not for NASA. NASA didn’t “invent” rovers. In fact NASA doesn’t invent much except rockets.

People also get damaged by cosmic radiation - it's only the particular properties of the Earth's atmosphere that stop it getting down to us.
