Growing up with my brother...we never really got along.
We didn't really have a father around, so he was the father figure in my life.
Before he went to war, we got into a really big argument.
The last words I said to him were, "I hate you." "I hate you." That's the last thing I ever said to him.
And I really wish I could be able to tell him how much I'm sorry.
I'll regret it for the rest of my life.
I admired everything that my Dad had done.
He taught me how to swim, how to shoot my first basket, everything.
He always told me that I was something special, and I had the world at my fingertips.
He saw something in me that I couldn't see in myself.
Hearing that your Dad was dead over the telephone...no words can describe how that feels.
Yeah, I guess when he was trying to save me from myself, he really needed someone to save him.
The Multi-function Agile Remote-Controlled robot, or MARCbot,
is a device that NASA has supplied to the soldiers.
The device has been deploying to Iraq since 2004 to help the soldiers search for IEDs.
The MARCbot is specifically developed to identify IEDs while avoiding close physical proximity, hunting down threats to the soldiers' lives.
Both NASA and the Army are engaging in studying how to best incorporate
humans and robots to do the hardest job in the world.
Robots are being used to start communicating with one another,
astronauts on the moon, and mission controllers on Earth.
NASA's future intentions are to make living quarters and civilizations on the moon, and then eventually, Mars.
The robots are helping NASA put wireless on the moon and helping soldiers in battle.
Reports have said that soldiers are giving their MARCbots names, medals, ranks, and memorials for the ones that were lost.
