the Internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk-show in the known universe I'm Ashley Scott you're watching one of our short episodes there will not be a long episode this week because of the Thanksgiving holiday here in the States but we will be back next week with three short episodes and one long episode just for your viewing pleasure until then let's hit the headlines we did it everybody we did it Blue Origin finally landed a rocket after flying it into space this is a huge deal for the commercial space industry as landing a rocket means reusable rockets which also means much cheaper costs for sending supplies and if all goes to plan people into space there's some specifics here we should clarify and Elon Musk was also happy to talk about this this morning on his Twitter account so blue origins new Shepard rocket made it into space but getting to geostationary transfer orbit or specifically getting a rocket into actual orbit above the earth takes a lot more speed than the new Shepard was pulling we're talking about Mach 3 to get to space but Mach 34 GTO orbit and SpaceX has actually been working hard on the orbit side of things and reusing a rocket so there's been a little bit more velocity happening in that process it doesn't make this event with Blue Origin any less amazing though and they should be commended for their hard work and successful landing Blue Origin founder who also happens to be the founder and CEO of Amazon Jeff Bezos tweeted for the first time this morning saying quote the rarest of beasts a used rocket controlled landing not easy but done right can look easy unquote oh snap Bezos are we under an umbrella cuz I sent some shade in that tweet oh my god you guys someone's trying to teach robots to disobey human commands what well before we all panic let's let's take a quick look Tufts University's human robot interaction lab thinks it might be a good idea to teach robots to reject orders from humans when appropriate so what exactly would it be appropriate for a robot to disobey the second law of robotics and say no to a human order well it can't break the first law of robotics which is injuring a human directly or allowing a human to be injured through an action and the third law says a robot must protect itself as long as it doesn't break the first or second laws the idea here is to actually teach a robot to understand what's being asked of them and to comprehend how capable it is of completing a task in essence Tufts University is actually teaching robots to explain to its human masters why they cannot complete a task so that the human can then modify explain or change the command to fall in line with the robot's obedience protocols you know I'm oddly okay with this as long as I never have to argue with my Roomba about whether or not it feels like vacuuming on a Saturday morning okay our very last headline today is about a hospital that is doing a real-life version of surgeon simulator Boston Children's Hospital is a major advocate of practicing procedures before actually needing to perform them on real people and because of that they've partnered with an unlikely collaborator for surgery simulations fractured FX is a Hollywood makeup effects house and they're now creating more realistic human organs and body parts for surgeons to practice on in simulators using a Hollywood effects house is kind of an unorthodox method but if you think about it it actually makes a lot of sense since the FX team can create highly realistic effects with anatomically correct look feel and response to human interaction such as scalpel work each product is tested by actual surgeons and then they give feedback to fractured effects which allows the company to create better and better products for simulations so the next time you find yourself watching a show like the Nick and you feel grossed out at how realistic the surgical special effects are keep in mind that real-life surgeons might be using those very same products to practice operating on what could be you in the future that's creepy all right guys let's check out what's new this week coming up this week three movies in theaters that look to all be pretty good so Creed comes out this week Creed is the story of Adonis Johnson the son of Apollo Creed so rocky comes back Sylvester Stallone and he is now Adonis's mentor so that should be really really good I'm hearing good things about that also coming out this week the good dinosaur from Pixar a story about a boy and his dog except that the boy is a dinosaur and the dog is a person and I can't wait to see that it looks really really cute and lastly Victor Frankenstein a kind of retelling of the story of dr. Frankenstein with Daniel Radcliffe playing Igor and James McAvoy playing dr. Freud so I can't wait to see that either as for video games there's not really anything compelling coming out this week but who cares you're already busy with Halo 5 rise of the Tomb Raider fallout 4 Star Wars Battlefront Starcraft 2 everything that's ever come out ever for video games so we're all good there we're all good so let's check out our front agra for the day our photographer of the day today is the car you send in this photo they took with your iPhone 6's Zakaria writes hello tomorrow daily my name is Zakaria I'm Imani from the Sultanate of Oman I took this picture when I was running in the morning and I would like to share it with you I used my iPhone 6s to take it and I added a chrome filter to it Zakaria this photo makes me want to go out and enjoy nature like I'm assuming you were doing when you took this picture thank you so much for sending it and if you're out there and you want to submit your phone tog Rafi to the show you can it's tomorrow at cnet.com it's super easy to email us give us permission to use your picture on the show send us your actual photo and then tell us a little story about it too because we love stories if you want to find us online where tomorrow daily on Facebook and Twitter and I am at Ashley ask Evan on Twitter producer Logan is at Logan Moy and our fantastic co-host Jeff cañada is at Jeff kanata with two N's and one t.i please share the show we're tomorrow daily comm it's that easy to give the gift of tomorrow daily this holiday season and we will see you guys next time we'll be back tomorrow but not Thursday with a brand new docket of weird wonderful size fact be in science fiction flown up in your face getting all great but until then vegan humans we'll see you guys next time
