Detailed explanation-1: -The core idea behind the Robonaut series is to have a humanoid machine work alongside astronauts. Its form factor and dexterity are designed such that Robonaut “is capable of performing all of the tasks required of an EVA-suited crewmember."
Detailed explanation-2: -Robonaut is a NASA robot. Engineers designed Robonaut to be humanoid, which means it is built to look like a person. This makes it easier for Robonaut to do the same jobs as a person. Robonaut could help with anything from working on the International Space Station to exploring other worlds.
Detailed explanation-3: -Another way this might be beneficial is during a robotic precursor mission. R2 would bring one set of tools for the precursor mission, such as setup and geologic investigation. Not only does this improve efficiency in the types of tools, but also removes the need for specialized robotic connectors.
Detailed explanation-4: -How do the phrases stormed off, float far, and invisible nothing in paragraph 35 contribute to the tone of the passage? They call attention to the narrator’s feelings of guilt and disappointment. They emphasize the narrator’s growing sense of hopelessness.
