Japan to put humanoid robot on moon by 2015 ?

Two legs couldnt be very stable four would make alot more sense. A combination of wheels,legs and arms would be even better, more mobile and able to handle various terrain mobility situations.

No, doesnt seem the japenese want to fully explore and learn all aspects possible, they would rather send a humaniod robot to put up their flag.

and on another note this is why we fail as a society, EVERYONES OUT TO GET THEIRS. If we worked together as a people only god knows where we would be.

A robot instead of a Human hmmmmmmm.... I wonder why???? Fuels the moon hoax theory once again.

Interesting.... Wouldn't like to be them if 2015 came along and the robot just falls over every step it takes Or the robot develops a mind of it's own and runs away Ok, probably not gonna happen, but that would make bigger headlines!!!

I find it amazing to see what great lengths Japanese people would go for their robot fetishes. I hope they make the bot truly human-like though, just as their gynoids are (atleast for the face).
