What kind of dumbass would have a conversation with it? These are the kind of astronauts we have?

I just passed my kids watching “Big Brother” (I think). Where the people are in the house and they vote each other off, etc.

This robot thing is playing as one of the “people”. I’m hoping that the annoying voice they gave it is just for the show - to fit the whiny voices of all the other players.

Some guy was having a conversation with it. Afterwards he tells the camera “I can’t believe I was almost in tears talking with it. And how am I supposed to vote it out after that conversation?”

I’m guessing the NASA guys will be better able to handle a flying robot. Hey Simon - go back and grab the 5mm socket for me. (I can see where that could be REALLY helpful). Or better yet. “Are you sure you want the 5mm? The adapter module came out later, and now uses a 6 mm to attach it to the master module - which as you know used the 5 mm.”

I’d also like it to answer the question of why on my truck there are both metric and American sizes for bolts!!??

BTW - my kids hate me - but I call that show (and others like it) “Oh - is this that ‘Idiots watching Idiots’ show?”

Heard today that NASA just hired a robotics 'specialist' to care for and maintain Cimon aboard the space ship. His name has not been released, but he definitely looks familiar. I know I've seen him somewhere before.
