21h ago ( February 25, 2021 at 1:23 PM ) Robotics took a small step into the wild world of SPACs this week, as Berkshire Grey announced its plan to go public by Q2. Setting aside some of the bigger issues with using the reverse merger route we’ve discussed plenty, BG is an ideal candidate for this next major step for a number of reasons.
First, the company’s got a track record and a ton of interest. I visited their HQ early last year, before the country shut down. Their plans were already fairly aggressive, with the wind of a recently ...

NASA said it received a positive first status update from its Ingenuity Mars Helicopter.
Simi liar flying robots "might be part of future robotic and human missions to Mars," NASA said.
When Ingenuity takes off, it'll be an event like the Wright brothers flying on Earth, NASA said.

NASA's Perseverance rover just landed on Mars.
Now about 350 of its engineers and scientists have to work on "Mars time," shifting their hours 40 minutes later each day.
Since this requires overnight shifts and causes jetlag, NASA only asks them to do it for three months.

January 15, 2021 at 7:46 PM An artist illustration of the InSight lander on Mars, with its "mole" burrowed deep in the soil.
NASA/JPL-Caltech
NASA has given up on its InSight lander's "Mars mole" after two years of trying to burrow into the planet's surface.
The Martian soil turned out to be too thick, and dust accumulating on the lander's solar panels was causing the robot to generate less and less power.
No Mars mission in the foreseeable future will take the planet's temperature — a measurement crucial to under...

NASA is giving up on its Mars mole — a pile driver designed to hammer its way up to 16 feet below the Martian surface — after two years of trying to dig past cement-like soil.
Now the InSight lander won't be able to take Mars' internal temperature.

NASA/JPL-Caltech
NASA has confirmed that a mysterious object that just flew past Earth is the dead booster of a 1960s Centaur rocket.
Earth's gravity briefly captured the booster this year, causing it to loop the planet twice before returning to an orbit around the sun.
Scientists confirmed that the object was a Centaur booster by comparing its electromagnetic fingerprint to that of a known Centaur booster in space.

Jupiter's oceanic moon, Europa, might glow white, blue, and green in the dark, a NASA scientist discovered.
Jupiter bombards Europa's icy surface with high-energy electrons that makes some types of ice glow.
