absolutely. on my third mission i flew on discovery in the year 2000. we installed two pieces to the international space station. i led the team that went out and did the spacewalk too bring the pieces to life. it s an emotional moment for all of white houus who worked with discovery. bill last question for you, and we ll get to the launch here. in the short amount of time i have, talk about this robinot. i don t know much except it walks around and do things well. is it able to pick up the grape? that s the ultimate. if the robot can tell it s got a grape and know that it s a grape and not crush the grape, that s pretty good. the idea is the space shumgttle. all these systems are designed
