To be able to follow such creatures in real time using the International Space Station could engender a whole new generation of applications on personal hand-held devices.
Commercial satellite Internet has been available for a number of years, but it is slow, capacity limited, and the trip to and from space adds a noticeable delay that can disrupt some applications.
Whilst much of the attention surrounding scramjets has focussed on the shorter journey times they could bring to long-haul passenger air travel, the first applications are likely to be in the space delivery business - launching small payloads, such as communications satellites, into orbit.
Current applications for Superbot are being developed with space exploration in mind, but Shen said the technology could be usefully applied in any environment dangerous to humans such as for search and rescue tasks in mines or underwater -- although the laboratory is still working on a morphing robot capable of swimming.
Again, they are trying to destroy the decades-old perception that competition exists in the software space, and that there are different brands of mail applications, and the customer, not the OS, gets to decide which one to use, and how it will be presented to the user.
FORBES: Has Windows 8 Failed As The PC Market Hasn't Boomed?
The larger 128GB version offers a bit more space at 83GB, but is still losing a massive 45GB of space to the full Windows 8 operating system and various included applications.
