Christmas is coming: These Baby Yoda toys, inspired by a 'Star Wars' character, can be yours in 2020

Here's what ou need to know about the Baby Yoda toys:

You want to discuss toys?
Yes. Christmas is nearing.

Where did you spot these Baby Yoda toys?
I didn’t. They are yet to be launched.


Then what are we talking about these toys?
Their absence… you see, there is a strong demand from fans.

Isn’t Baby Yoda a character from the new 'Star Wars'-based show 'The Mandalorian'?
Yes. Actually, a character called the Child that looks like Yoda of 'Star Wars'. The producers of the show didn’t want to launch the merchandise earlier so that the character remains a secret until the show starts. Otherwise it would have leaked. 'The Mandalorian' debuted only in November.

So now they are launching?
Pre-orders for some products have started. There is a huge demand.

What is the first toy that will be available?
A Baby Yoda plush.

Awww... Cute.
About 11 inches tall, this will have vinyl head and soft robes. It will be filled with beans to make it soft and cuddly.

So, who will be making the original toys?
All the big toy people — Lego, Mattel, Hasbro.

When will they deliver?
Oh, between March and June 2020, am told.

That is so late. Can’t we find some duplicates?
We can find plenty. Most online shopping platforms have multiple Baby Yoda products.

In India, too?
Of course. Would you like a Baby Yoda costume?

Hey, I wouldn’t mind.
I am told that is the most easily available Baby Yoda merchandise now.

Come on, let us buy two.
Two?

Yes, one for you and one for me.

Dragonfly, Astrobee & Lemur IIb: Nasa Is Shooting For The Stars With Robo-Astronauts

The Dragonfly will fly off in 2026 and arrive at Saturn’s icy moon Titan in 2034 looking for signs of life. Dragonfly marks the first time NASA will fly a multi-rotor vehicle on another planet — it has eight rotors and flies like a large drone. During its 2.7-year baseline mission, the drone will explore diverse environments from organic dunes to the floor of an impact crater.

Originally built for disaster-relief, this ape-like robot developed at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has been modified to move in extreme environments like Saturn’s moon Enceladus. RoboSimian can walk on four legs, crawl, move like an inchworm and slide on its belly like a penguin.

NASA’s Robonaut 2 was the first humanoid robot ever sent to space in 2011. It spent about four years on the space station before it had a hardwire malfunction in 2015. NASA retrieved it in 2018. After a round of repairs, the Robonaut 2 is now set to return to the space station again. It is made up of multiple component technologies, like vision systems, image recognition systems, sensor integrations, tendon hands, control algorithms, and more.

NASA has developed three new robotic teammates to work alongside astronauts on the International Space Station as they help to advance research. Astrobee, NASA’s new free-flying robotic system, aims to help astronauts reduce the time they spend on routine duties like carrying inventory, documenting experiments etc.

Astrobee (free-floating cubes) quick-facts:
- The three robots are named Honey, Queen and Bumble
- The robots are shaped like cubes 12.5 inches wide
- When needed, the robots can return to their docking station and recharge their battery power
- Each floating robot carries a perching arm that allows it to grasp station handrails and assist the astronauts
