I know this is how people in the 80s and 90 imagined the future and a lot of concepts were probably too far fetched for them.

BUT... why arent they using drones to explore planets? why are there not more drone-spaceships? why does enterprise need a crew to begin with? Why is there so little automation? Why so few uses of AI in general?

I am saying this as a star trek the next generation person. I'd also expect them to have full video and sensory streams of any surface mission teams.

And more importantly, the drone MISSED data that revealed the planet was inhabited!

Not Star Trek, but the Three Laws of Robotics is the textbook on why AI and any strict programmatic interpretation of Rules is a flawed goal.
