shyama and andrew will be back at 11:30 for another look at the papers. goodbye for now. for the whole of human history, we have had no choice but to live off the land — literally. everything that we use comes from planet earth. now, some of those resources — rare, precious metals, for example — are really useful for scientific and climate research, but they are really difficult to mine. other resources are just, well, running out. all systems are ready...

and all of this begs the question — as we venture into space, how are we going to live? where are we going to live? and what are we going to live on? so, as humans, we have been exploiting the resources on earth for as long as we have been around, but instead of looking down now at what is underneath our feet, we are starting to look up and see what else is out there. ultimately, what we are looking at doing is going to an asteroid, landing on it, taking samples and then, kind of bringing them back. yes, we�*re going asteroid mining! and these are the concept designs for machines that could one day be part of a new gold rush — well, actually, platinum rush — that could potentially be worth quintillions of pounds. and this is the first part of that robot — the claw that stops it from floating away from the asteroid by gripping onto the surface hard. the grippers that they use are essentially derived from, ultimately, things like

gecko pads and if you look at, like, the ends of tarantula�*s feet,
