Barney's backing-track subject 'Space-Junk' couldn't be more relevant to all the crazy shit happening in orbit right now. That boy's got his finger on the pulse! If you haven't heard, the ridiculous International Space Platform (ISP) has been all but immobilized by a tiny piece of orbital flotsam - requiring teams of astronauts to perform dangerous and expensive space walks to repair damaged flaps. No doubt they'll need to be rescued by the Russians as usual, in their 1950s-era Soyuz spacecraft. But perhaps the Canadians have found an alternative to super-costly astronaut mechanics...
For my solo IML entry, I've been given Jim's fabulous backing track, the subject of which is DEXTRE - a Canadian robot hand, designed specifically as a remote maintainance droid for the ailing ISP. Check him out...
...hopefully, DEXTRE will be the first of a generation of space robots that replace humans and do a better job of exploring space.
