Nasa’s New Spidernaut!!
So Nasa decided spiders are the way to go. Apparently, this is only 1/4th the size of the final product, and they may even develop a “web” deployment system… and they don’t mean intarweb.
So, a giant robot spider 4 times the size of the one in the picture is going to be crawling on the outside of space craft and space stations to fix stuff… Let’s just hope they don’t decide to come back to Earth.
