NASA Technology: Imagine. Innovate. Explore., NASA OCT
“On the same day that Robonaut 2, the first humanoid robot in space, emerged from his protective packaging onboard the International Space Station, its twin entertained a crowd back on Earth at the annual NASA Technology Day on Capitol Hill. Developed jointly by NASA and General Motors, Robonaut 2 (R2) is a robotic assistant that can work alongside humans–whether astronauts in space or workers in U.S. manufacturing plants. R2 also is a powerful example of the benefits of NASA partnerships and technology.”
Reporters Invited to Meet Robonaut Tuesday with Members of Congress
“Journalists are invited to tour a NASA Technology exhibit on Tuesday, March 15, from 4 to 5 p.m. EDT in room HVC-201 of the Capitol Visitor Center. … Journalists who do not have U.S. Capitol press credentials must contact the House Press Gallery at 202-225-3945. This event is not open to the public, and media access will conclude at 5 p.m.”
Keith’s note: An exhibit about NASA technology and its benefit to the public at the Capitol “Visitors Center” – but no one from the public can “visit” the exhibit? FAIL.
