image creditDiscovery will take off for its last mission, STS-133, on 1 November. Yet even with almost its last gasp the space shuttle program delivers something new. This time it is taking a very special astronaut up to the International Space Station.
Robonaut 2 will be the first human shaped robot in space. Plus he even has his own Twitter account to keep us up to date with his outer space escapades.

Actually, the early version had a head that looked like Boba Fett's helmet.
