  9. Funny– and thought provoking. The fluid, human-like motion and dexterity of this machine is astonishing and can only improve in the years to come. In certain bean-counting circles it makes a strong argument against the expense of sending humans to, say, Mars, given not just cost issues, but radiation concerns and it eliminated the need [and weight] for any ECS and consumables. Working out the time delay and other programing issues and a human operator in Pasadena could virtually be moving about on Mars without leaving a console at JPL.

    Bullets designed to penetrate aren’t designed to deform, mushroom or fragment.
