At the end of the day we were a whopping 30 minutes shy of having it ready to fly and ran out of daylight. :sigh:

I skipped the rotating wrist due to added complexity and cost. It would come in handy sometimes tho :redface:
Just curious if you've ever read "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" by Robert Heinlein?

"[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]...I have something specialists don't have: my left arm. [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] You see, from elbow down I don't have one. So I have a dozen left arms, each specialized, plus one that feels and looks like flesh. With proper left arm (number-three) and stereo loupe spectacles I could make ultramicrominiature repairs that would save unhooking something and sending it Earthside to factory - for number-three has micromanipulators as fine as those used by neurosurgeons."[/FONT]

Don't think I'm going to get tool advice from a science fiction novel.

To say anyone has the control of a neurosurgeon with a prothesis is full of it.
Wasn't intended as tool advice - Henning's comment reminded me of the book. Heinlein wrote it about 50 years ago and was obviously speculating - and the narrator in the story was on the moon, which had been a lunar penal colony. So right about the time we start shipping undesirables to the moon, prosthetic technology should be suitably advanced to make his statements true. :wink2:
