Coudal Partners has a new video series that's tangentially science this week. Laboratory Conditions is a collection of short films on Ed, proprietor at the Black Hole, a salvaged equipment shop in Los Alamos. Three of five episodes are out so far and the other two will show as the week progresses. It's a fun diversion for this week so head to their site to check it out: Coudal Partners' Laboratory Conditions.
I am a sucker for robots and this video takes the cake. It's JPL's new prototype for a rover intended for moon colonization. You might be surprised at it's size when you finally see it next to a human but keep in mind that it's supposed to be twice this size when it eventually launches. That's a big robot.
Here's the original video page. Also, I like Vimeo's style much more than I like YouTube's. When available, I'll be using the Vimeo player instead.
