A startup built a space robot with octopus arms and gecko grip.
The REACCH system unfurls eight arms that conform to any shape, sticking with micro-wedges that mimic gecko feet, no docking port needed.
It got 172 test runs aboard the ISS.
The mission: grab dead satellites and space junk moving 10x faster than bullets before Earth's orbit becomes an impassable junkyard.
An orbital tow truck, and we're going to need it.
