Mighty Mouse Robot Freed a Stuck Radiation Source.

Alex

Sandia National Laboratories' robot, dubbed M2 for the cartoon character "Mighty Mouse" successfully freed a radiation source (the size of a restaurant salt shaker) at the White Sands Missile Range lab.

The robot had to withstand radiation strong enough to kill 40 men during this operation.

I couldn't play the video, so maybe it's better explained there, but wouldn't be funny if his "jump" was really only a small hop of a couple of feet out of a helicopter hovering near ground? heh heh

Gotta love how the stupid bitch reporter makes this ignorant dipshit face at the end, like saying "this guy is crazy and this can't be done" When the same thing was said of many inventors throughout history. You'd think that in this time and age of so many technological advances there wouldn't be idiots like this reporter that are skeptical about every little thing. At least show some respect and realize that maybe someone just like you made that face when you said you wanted to be on TV, which obviously you don't deserve.

Wasn't there an earlier post on Neatorama about those guys in the wing suits? I am not brave enough to do it in real life, so I can only imagine what that is like, and it looks like it would be GREAT!

It would be interesting to know what his glide angle is- how many feet he goes forward for every foot down. That's what will determine how smooth his landing will be.

Uh, nice "plan". I'll be more impressed if they can interview him AFTER he does it.

And I plan intergalactic domination, think that's enough to get me an interview with Julie Chen?
