What an incredible picture on APOD today..

It's the arm they used in the recent STS-114 mission from last year, to repair the tiles.
Did anyone see "Beyond Tomorrow" last week? It had a feature on the "EuroBot"..
Here's a great PDF with info about it: here (http://mms.tudelft.nl/dbl/research/haptics/dutchtouch/Shiele-iSAIRASPaper.pdf) (650k).
Incredible stuff. The lead engineer was only 27 years old!
