It has always made sense to me to do it this way. Here on earth there are plenty of people willing to blow themselves up just to kill a few people... I'm sure there would a queue a mile long if you asked for people willing to make the heroic trip. I'd expect the chinese would be the first people do to something this sensible.
I don't know whether a man would survive more than a probe, but a human is more adaptive and self healing than a high tech moon rover - and cheaper too!
No doubt you'd get someone pretty depressed taking the trip, would be like having Marvin the paranoid android up there... oh I could take some rock samples, but what about this pain all down my left side... oh so depressing..
