Just been watching something about the ISS on Discovery Channel. On it they were talking about these Personal Satelite Assistants. Basically they're free roaming robots, shaped like a ball. Inside they have a display and voice recgonition.

You can talk to it and tell it to go off and check the temperature of a sensor for example. It will then wonder off, do its job and come back to you with the results :cool:

A video of one on that site. I want one

Houston -- NASA makes history next week with the first live broadcasts from space in High Definition television (HDTV). NASA, in cooperation with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, Discovery HD Theater and Japanese broadcast network NHK will produce the broadcasts on Nov. 15.

Two live HDTV broadcasts will feature Expedition 14 Commander Michael Lopez-Alegria on the International Space Station, with Flight Engineer Thomas Reiter serving as camera operator aboard the 220-mile-high laboratory. The broadcasts will be carried by Discovery HD Theater and NHK. Discovery HD Theater will carry the special broadcast live at 10:30 a.m. CST and will be shown at Discovery Channel stores.

How amazing would that be, see a launch in HD
