NASA's Six-Legged Freakshow of a Lunar Rover, ATHLETE

"ATHLETE, NASA's "All-Terrain Hex-Limbed Extra-Terrestrial Explorer," was designed for lunar cargo hauling with expertise in hernia-free crouch and lift. A pair of cameras mounted on each of its six sides provide full stereoscopic panoramic view of the lunar surface. The small wheels are used on hard terrain, but they can lock to become feet when the goin' gets rougher. Legs can become arms, and the motors used to control the wheel can also power claws, plows and drills. NASA plans to ship this baby skyward in a "decade or so.""

DOH! Sorry dude. that's ironic. This one got through in less than a day. I was shocked to see it jump so high so fast. Anyway,somehow I didn't find yours searching for all the obvious keywords.

aha "athelete" videosift's search engine doesn't guess on miss-spells like that. Anyway, I don't have a save to give it in the end. though I'm still confused how I did search for "lunar rover" and still didn't find you. Well, anyway, the video finally got through so people are see it anyway.
