Episode notes

We don't have a space shuttle programme that can take us to any satlite. Could these robots, something like a spac ex er tesla robot, be a good option? Because you could technically control it by people on the ground. And it have similar joints as humans. But would it be a better use of resources to modify and improve the tele cope itself, or to design a functioning humanoid robot to go up there and continue to maintain its current design? That's not a question i have an answer to. Justm i'm not as familiar with, obviously, the telescope.

This week, Marques and Andrew discuss the new, slightly crazy announcement from Tesla: the Tesla Bot! Tesla Bot is a planned humanoid robot that will be able to help people with everyday, boring/repetitive tasks. But this announcement begs the question: is a humanoid robot really the best option? Marques and Andrew debate that conundrum, as well as read questions from the community Discord to see how people think Tesla Bot might help humanity in the future.
