Why SpaceX Bought a Robotic Dog

Over the last couple of years, SpaceX have been rapidly building and testing their Starship prototypes. But in order to get the most out of each test, SpaceX had to buy and hire a robotic dog from Boston Dynamics. This video looks at how SpaceX are using their robotic dog and how similar robotic creatures could be used when we send the first humans to Mars.

Spot finds a huge dinosaur bone on Mars and is like: "Mine. All mine!" - and never tells the humans about it.

3:17 bird be like: yeah i hv a 20 year of experience in rocket science, i will inspect it. Coward humans

[saswotlamichhane]

even dogs can lose their jobs because of AI!

[KingsDominionNetwork]

engineer: ok elon how are we gonna set up the base once we get ther-
Elon: *D O G*

2 months later - Boston dynamics comes out with their new interplanetary rocket.
SpaceX: "Wait a minute, where's spot?"

SpaceX and Boston Dynamics working together, that is so cool.

That's at 5:56 that I only realized it was a sponsorized add, the transition was so smooth I didn't even notice it.

The title is literally it's own answer.
Who the hell doesn't want a robot dog.

[ClemensAlive]

This "dog" reminds me so much of that Black Mirror Episode "Metalhead" - it gives me chills.

[contessa.adella]

SpaceX: Send out Spot to explore....
Martian: Release the Robo Cats
SpaceX: Contact with Spot has been lost...he ran off chasing something....

[TheExoplanetsChannel]

That robot reminds me the dog robot in the *movie Red Planet*

Btw I recommend that movie.

[jjjj_]

When the prototype was pushed to failure and all that you could see was the dog in the video looked so bad ass!

[birdsofafeather]

SpaceX and NASA should definitely collaborate with Boston Dynamics to develop robotics for base construction prior to a future crewed mission.

Im glad to see robot dogs are finally seeing the light of day, spacex really doesnt mess around with innovation

0:15 Bird trying to reach hypersonic speed

Very cool. Also, at 2:09, nice Airwolf theme song in the background.
