Japan sending biped robots to conquer moon by 2020

Remember back in 2006 when we told you about Japan’s goal to colonize the moon with robots? Some dreams don’t seem to die, and the country’s Strategic Headquarters for Space Development said recently that they expect a two-legged droid traversing the satellite’s surface by 2020. Should that prove successful, it’ll be followed later by a joint mission with humans — that is, if the robots don’t find a way to take over before then and deny the spacemen their planetary visas.
