im very good making robot, and by the way that's the only thing i know how to work on. i try college to become an engineer but my grades were too low. i always wanted to go to nasa to make robot. my father is a mechanic, his father was a mechanic. and my grandfather's mother was a engineer. maybe that's why i have a big brain to make machines and design machine. i know i can make a better robot than the Japanese (ASIMO) and make it walk like a human and run as fast as a human. but takes money.

Sure. With other words: You think you are good at making robots, because some people in your family are ingeneers og mechanics. But you sucked at college, means you can't do it. And i don't think you can't do something better than asimo because asimo is the coolest robot in the world, not only the technical stuff, but the programming.

flyborg you know your planes - but if this thing breaks down on mars ect... it cant be fixed were as a f16/b2 has a break down they can be fixed with expence but the cool robot also cost millions to design and cost millions to place on mars ect... if it fails then its a heavy cost - planes are for war + transport the cool robot is for questions about other beings is there other beings (ET's) or can we live on other planets after we kill this one

That's a pretty cool robot.
It probably costs about 1/10th of an F16. :(

That's not english.

Upon further checking, the F16 was a bad example. They cost up to 70 mil, but the 2nd mars rover cost 200 mil. The B2 bomber costs up to 2.2 billion EACH though. :_(
