PICTURES OF THE WEEK: WHEN BB8 MET CURIOSITY
by Hazed
One of the joys of the new Star Wars film that came out a few months ago was the plucky little droid, BB8. While in reality its rolling gait would probably not be very practical when it comes to dealing with obstacles or rocky terrain, it was extremely cute so we’ll overlook the drawbacks.
In real life, BB8 was sent to visit its robotic brethren at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab in California. Watching a Hollywood-designed robot meeting a real space robot must have been quite something.
