NASA’s All-Terrain, Hex-Limbed, Extra-Terrestrial Explorer (or ATHLETE) is designed to shlep up to 660 pounds of cargo around the surface of Mars and the Moon.
But while it’s still being developed here on Earth, it has another mission – the 1/2-scale prototype ATHLETE is a dancin’ machine. Just watch this video and see what I mean.
So there ya go. Your tax dollars, hard at work. Now what exactly is happening on Mars again?

Uh…this is not a video of the ATHLETE robot “dancing”. This is an edited video clip, obviously run backward and forward at certain spots, to give the impression of “dancing”. No tax dollars were wasted in the making of this video. Just some moron’s time was wasted in posting this as real. And my time wasted for clicking the fictitious headline link to come here.
I know that it’s an edited clip – and I was being sarcastic about wasting taxpayer dollars. Lighten up, Sebastian.
