This is these guys in a nutshell. It's a shot-for-shot remake of the original trailer... except it's not even a good copy. It's not just that there is not a single original idea in there, they aren't even aware that they have taken out all the substance. (A li'l thread.)

Congratulations to space engineers Anna Menon and Sarah Gillis, who recently broke the record for the furthest distance any female astronaut has flown into space. 👩🚀 🚀
They were part of the four-member Polaris Dawn mission, reaching an altitude of approximately 1,400 kilometers (870 miles) above the Earth's surface. Along with the rest of their SpaceX crew, this marks the first time four astronauts have been exposed to the vacuum of space at once. bit.ly/3ziYUdk
One of the coolest robotics videos decoded! 🔐
I bet everyone in the tech world has probably seen this video. Where (old) Atlas from @BostonDynamics is doing flicks, tricks, and running around the obstacle course.
Well, now you can see it from a robot's POV.
Isn't that cool to see the perception of the environment from a robot perspective?
