You think new technology never gets patented?

My parents witnessed the birth of, well nothing really.
We have witnessed the birth of computers, consumer electronics, high-tech cars, alternative fuels, (fill-in-the-blank), and now robots!

I'm guessing it probably has something to do with the oil leak being under 5000 ft of water (crushing pressures and well, wet) vs the vacuum of space (hardly any pressure and not wet).

But thats just my guess.]]>Jul 8th 2010 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/robonaut-2-enters-final-preparations-before-flying-off-into-spac/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/robonaut-2-enters-final-preparations-before-flying-off-into-spac/Jul 8th 2010 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/robonaut-2-enters-final-preparations-before-flying-off-into-spac/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/robonaut-2-enters-final-preparations-before-flying-off-into-spac/Jul 8th 2010 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/robonaut-2-enters-final-preparations-before-flying-off-into-spac/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/robonaut-2-enters-final-preparations-before-flying-off-into-spac/Jul 8th 2010 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/robonaut-2-enters-final-preparations-before-flying-off-into-spac/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/robonaut-2-enters-final-preparations-before-flying-off-into-spac/Jul 8th 2010 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/robonaut-2-enters-final-preparations-before-flying-off-into-spac/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/robonaut-2-enters-final-preparations-before-flying-off-into-spac/Jul 8th 2010 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/robonaut-2-enters-final-preparations-before-flying-off-into-spac/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/robonaut-2-enters-final-preparations-before-flying-off-into-spac/Jul 8th 2010 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/robonaut-2-enters-final-preparations-before-flying-off-into-spac/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/robonaut-2-enters-final-preparations-before-flying-off-into-spac/Jul 8th 2010 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/robonaut-2-enters-final-preparations-before-flying-off-into-spac/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/robonaut-2-enters-final-preparations-before-flying-off-into-spac/Jul 8th 2010 12:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/robonaut-2-enters-final-preparations-before-flying-off-into-spac/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/robonaut-2-enters-final-preparations-before-flying-off-into-spac/Jul 8th 2010 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/robonaut-2-enters-final-preparations-before-flying-off-into-spac/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/robonaut-2-enters-final-preparations-before-flying-off-into-spac/Jul 8th 2010 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/robonaut-2-enters-final-preparations-before-flying-off-into-spac/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/robonaut-2-enters-final-preparations-before-flying-off-into-spac/
but if we ever do send a robot off into space , we better hope aliens dont find it , and end up thinking it came from a planet of robots , it might not end well (as countless sci fi movies have shown us)]]>Jul 8th 2010 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/robonaut-2-enters-final-preparations-before-flying-off-into-spac/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/robonaut-2-enters-final-preparations-before-flying-off-into-spac/
