NASA To Send a Humanoid Robot On Shuttle's Final Mission

Posted by timothy on from the why-can't-they-send-them-all dept.

coondoggie writes "Perhaps taking a page from a Star Wars script, NASA said today it will send its newest humanoid robot, known as Robonaut2, on board the space shuttle's final mission. R2 is capable of using the same tools as humans, letting it work closely with people in space."

    Grammer what?
    Slashdot to a start editing?

    Where do I even begin with that one?!?

    Cruisin' Mos Espa
    In my Delorean
    War's over
    I'm a peacetime mandalorian

    My story has stumped
    Star Wars historians
    Deep in debate,
    Buffet plate at Bennigan's

    Rhyme renegade
    Sure to penetrate
    First and second defences
    I won't hesitate

    Got a job to do
    And Darth's the guy that delegates
    Got something against Skywalker
    Someone he really hates

    I don't give a fuck
    I'm after Solo
    For all I care
    He could be hidin' at Yoda's dojo

    Gotta make the money
    Credit's no good
    When the jawas runin' shop
    In your neighborhood

    Think you can cook
    I got a grappling hook
    Let's make this quick
    'Cause I'm really booked

    I'm a devious degenerate
    Defender of the devil
    Shut down all the trash compactors
    On the detention level
