Yeah, I kind of wish you folks would have pressed Rutan a bit on why it is exactly that he wants to shove his preferred government regulations down the throats of everyone else in this budding industry.

For those who dislike registering with the NYT, it looks like someone accidentally posted the entire article here (or click on my name):

Anyone know the website you can use to get around the registration? I've seen it posted here a few time in the past.

Kris, you're thinking of bugmenot.com
Also, if you read H&R while at work (during approved breaks, during lunch or after hours, of course) and your employer blocks bugmenot.com, I've found that if you cut and paste an exact phrase from near the end of the initial excerpt, and Google on that, more often than not you'll find the entire article posted in clear somewhere on the WWW. (Sometimes by the NYT itself, which I've never been able to figure out.)

You know this whole space thing is great, but when are they going to come up with something really useful like robot hookers?

Thanks guys.
(during approved breaks, during lunch or after hours, of course)
LOL

Done and done.

Although I've always wanted a lifelike Japanese pleasure-droid, that robot looks creepy and corpselike to me, and not even all that sexy.
I'll wait until the Yuko Aoki model comes out.
(And, just like in Westworld, I see they're still working on the hands.)
