Robonaut ISS Checkout Overview

YES!!!! AWESOME!!!!! :-) yet another one of the billions of reasons to want to go to space, you get to work with Robonaut :-) . With ORION we're going back to deep space exploration, our goals are back to traveling through the solar system and beyond, and we are developing robotic crew members to help us along the way. Slowly but surely we're approaching what the future should be.

I remember reading a quote from an Astronaut a couple years ago, he talked about what NASA's problems have been when it comes to getting the public excited about space again. He said something to effect of; we need to be more like Star Trek. Well we may not reach Star Trek levels of wonder just yet, but we're making giant leaps forward :-) .
