"It can respond to people touching it"

"It's very satisfying"

1: We can't kill the planet, only ourselves - no bad thing. 99% of all species that have ever evolved are now extinct, why should we be so special?

2: So how exactly DID they make it to the moon 40 years ago?

3: yup - a sexbot.. but I will never be able to afford a new one and I wouldnt buy one off e-bay *shudders* :(

2. With a much bigger budget, probably. Remember the USA were showing off at the time vs. the USSR - the space race was a major beneficiary of the cold war. These days they spend their money on their armed forces instead...

you are probably right, I have never really bought into the whole "conspiracy theory" thing, but If i did these recent developments would certainly make me wonder.
I think life was a little cheaper then - to make it and die trying would still be making it. but now people expect astronauts to come back in one piece.

Why is she wearing such a horribly 80's jacket?

Given that it's a Japanese 'real girl' robot, I think the question here is "Why isn't she wearing a schoolgirl outfit?"

Anyway, <3 the 80s!

Blech, 80's. Quite glad i missed it all.
We were amusing ourselves with the dynasty-esque pictures on secrets in lace yesterday. This 80's enough for you? http://www.secretsinlace.com/sil/showdetl.cfm?DID=7&CATID=11&ObjectGroup_ID=19&Product_ID=167&Startrow=1
