A Cat Named “Taters” 

It’s lasers all the way down.

When NASA needed to test a laser-based deep space transmission earlier this month, they had a little fun with the video.

The contents of the video didn’t matter for the experiment, so the team decided to have a little fun, using a cat video featuring JPL employee Joby Harris’ pet “Taters” chasing a laser pointer, along with graphics related to the Psyche mission.
