A Small Talking Robot Built In Japan Is About To Take One Giant Leap Into Space.

A small talking robot built in Japan is about to take one giant leap into space.

#Kirobo — a humanoid “robot astronaut" that can converse with humans in space and on the ground — is scheduled for launch to the International Space Station on Aug. 4.

Once aboard the orbiting laboratory, Kirobo will take part in the first robot-to-human conversation in space, Kibo Robot Project officials have said.

"Russia was the first to go outer space, the U.S. was the first to go to the moon, we want Japan to be the first to send a robot-astronaut to space that can communicate with humans," said Yorichika Nishijima, the Kirobo project manager, as quoted by The Associated Press.

Kirobo’s name comes from a combination of the Japanese word for hope, “kibo," and the word “robot." Officials from the project chose the name from the more than 2,452 entries submitted by interested fans of the project. The Japanese module of the space station — called the Kibo laboratory — is also named for “hope."

"We live in a world of theophanies. Holiness comes wrapped in the ordinary. There are burning bushes all around you. Every tree is full of angels. Hidden beauty is waiting in every crumb. Life wants to lead you from crumbs to angels, but this can happen only if you are willing to unwrap the ordinary by staying with it long enough to harvest its treasure." -Macrina Wiederkehr

Street artist INSA is merging graffiti and photography to make street art GIFs. The artist paints over a wall several times - photographing the process. He then stitches together the photos and turns them into GIFs.
