The Space Shuttle Endeavour is speeding towards the Space Station carrying seven astronauts and pieces of a giant Canadian robot which, when assembled, will look like Jeopardy host, Alex Trebek.
The seven astronauts and the three currently on the station will assemble the nine pieces of the huge robot after the Endeavour docks sometime Wednesday night. They opine that the robot will become fully operational on Thursday so that the robot can conduct a Jeopardy Tournament of Champions with the astronauts participating.
"We are very, very excited," said astronaut Michael Foreman. "It's our pleasure to do this for North America as Canada does not have its own space program."
"I've been studying up on my trivia!" announced Space Station Commander, Peggy Whitson. "Nothing else to do up here."
The Endeavour is also carrying the first piece of a Japanese lab.
NASA officials have released a picture of what they believe all pieces of the lab will look like when assembled.

They should send up a robot Sean Connery who can taunt robot Trebek with claims of having been amorous with robot Trebek's mother.
