When real life imitates fiction? Quite possibly a push by Canada to stroll into the technological bliss of the 21st century. Or it could just be some sort of helping hand.Spacewalking astronauts on the international space station added hands to a robot, which will help in the every-day procedures of the space station. However, the $200 million robot, named Dextre (thanks Canada), needs some sort of power source to help heat its joints, limbs and electronics.
Once they determine some sort of continuous source to maintain heat within Dextre, "it should have no trouble powering up once the astronauts finish putting it together and install it on the station next week."
What's amazing is that they are able to install some form of mechanical beast. It wasn't soon after the reporting of this breakthrough that SPEW learned in fact Dextre is an alias for Lou Holtz.
