Description
In 1957, scientists at the Nuclear Congress in Philadelphia wanted to show off their new remote-controlled "Master-Slave" robotic arms, designed to handle highly radioactive materials. How did they demonstrate this million-dollar atomic tech? By having it light a secretary's cigarette... and then get a little too friendly! 💀🤖
