NASA to send humanoid robot to the moon | Weird | News | Toronto Sun

Sending an astronaut to the moon is a costly endeavour, but sending a human-like robot? Cost-effective, says NASA.

That's why in less than three years, Robonaut 2 (R2) will be the first humanoid robot on the moon, according to NASA.

His mission will cost less than $200 million US, plus $250 million for the rocket -- much less than the $150-billion price tag for sending a person.
