NASA's New Spokesman: WALL-E
What are the scientists and and engineers of tomorrow doing today? NASA thinks they might be getting psyched up about this guy:
That, in case you've missed all the ads and movie trailers, is WALL-E, star of the Disney-Pixar movie opening next week that bears his name. The agency has signed an agreement with Disney to conduct a series of educational and public outreach activities around the movie. The idea is to show kids that NASA does "real-life work in robot technology, propulsion systems and astrophysics."
WALL-E will be showing up on public service announcements on the agency's TV channels, and will appear on its Web site.
