Kirobo robot launched to International Space Station

I wish there was more space news these days, it's a passion of mine but unfortunately not a priority in these times apparently. So the Japanese have launched this robot to keep the astronauts company with conversation, and you know it has games if it's Japanese lol. Very cool sign for the future.

Wow man, for some reason this gets me all emotional. Like, I'm almost crying?!
