While some people might think that catching a ball isnt a very big deal, it certainly was for Kate Grey.

In a heartwarming video published by Open Bionics, a groundbreaking startup dedicated to creating affordable and efficient bionic limbs for amputees, the Paralympic swimmer can be seen testing out a new 3D-printed bionic arm that she had put on only moments before.

Grey, who lost her hand to a sausage machine when she was 2 years old, says that she has never been able to catch anything with her left arm before.

The athlete then tosses the ball into the air with her righter arm and manages to catch it with the 3D-printed limb and she is exuberant.

Within our lifetimes, organs and limbs will be replaceable with bionic variants. We might live long enough to catch the advent of several hundred year life spans. Maybe we'll even be able to extend ourselves long enough to catch near-immortality as well.

God we need to pump as much funding as possible into this shit. And into NASA.

I'd gladly pay 10% more in taxes if 5% went to NASA and 5% went to this stuff.

You can make a barely moving bowl-like shape catch a ball. The arm would have to be capable of using fine hand tools accurately for me to consider a voluntary upgrade.

Good job on missing the followup, which was literally the other sentence of my post.

Can the hand operate fine hand tools with a good amount of success? If you need an example just to not be obtuse yet again, think dial calipers and micrometers.

Yeah I guess that was a little redundant

But I'm just happy we're reaching the point where the idea of replacing missing limbs with working artifical ones is no longer Science Fiction, it's science future.
