Anonymous Coward writes "As the crew of the space shuttle Endeavor made the journey home after a 16-day mission, scientists at NASA and the Canadian Space Agency credit them with taking the first step in a robotic partnership that will help humans press further out into the solar system — plus the crew set a record for running the longest mission of space station construction. "The work we're doing now — the robotics we're doing — is what we're going to need to do to build any work station or habitat structure on the moon or Mars," said Allard Beutel, a spokesman for NASA. "Yes, this is just the beginning." Mathieu Caron, supervisor for the Canadian Space Agency's mission control team, noted that the space shuttle will be launched again this summer, taking a crew to do maintenance work on the Hubble Telescope. "I saw the simulations and the hardware they tested, and it was fascinating," he added. "It's remarkable how much you can do robotically. That opens wide how much we can do with space robotics.""
