When the world of fact and fiction combine, it leads to a pretty epic story. The newest droid in the Star Wars universe, BB-8, recently visited NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Here the little guy met fellow space robots and toured the sights.
JPL is home to a vast array of space technology and is mostly known for the “Mars Pathfinder and the Spirit rover’s mission to Mars,” according to Timeout Los Angeles.
Check out a few of the fun photos below. What would you do if you saw BB-8 hanging out with NASA robots?
