Hey Dextre, Wake Up

NASA struggles to wake space station robot, USA Today

“The International Space Station’s new $210 million robot, a two-armed giant named Dextre, refused to come to life on command Thursday, jeopardizing NASA’s plans to get the robot up and running over the next week. Mission Control tried to power up the robot’s pieces early Thursday soon after they were installed on the station, but there was no response. Engineers plan to make a software fix sometime after 5 a.m. ET Friday that might wake the robot from its sleep.”
