Short Sharp Science: Shuttle launches humanoid robot into space

Short Sharp Science: Shuttle launches humanoid robot into space: "The space shuttle Discovery has launched into space on its final mission, carrying a crew of six people and one humanoid robot – the first to be sent into orbit.

Discovery launched at 1650 EST on Thursday from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The mission will deliver water, oxygen, and spare parts to the International Space Station. The shuttle and its crew are scheduled to return to Earth after 11 days in space, but will leave a humanoid robot called Robonaut 2 on the space station."
