Late last month in Germany, a robot made its first moves on Earth under commands from an orbiting spacecraft.
Though that may sound ominous, it doesn't represent an impending threat to humankind. The robot was made of Lego, and it only traversed a European Space Agency test facility. The commands were sent by Sunita Williams, commander of the 33rd expedition of the International Space Station. The ESA-led experiment may have helped lay the groundwork for future expeditions to the Moon, Mars and beyond.
