Mario Nawfal(@MarioNawfal):A startup built a space robot with octopus arms and gecko grip. The REACCH system unfurls eight arms that conform to any shape, sticking with micro-wedges that mimic gecko feet, no docking port needed. It got 172 test runs aboard the ISS. The mission: grab dead satellites and space junk moving 10x faster than bullets before Earth's orbit becomes an impassable junkyard. An orbital tow truck, and we're going to need it. Source: Interesting AF
