There's not been much news on it. I think it had some sort of technical problems around january (not sure of the date) and it's been quite ever since. I hope the problems arn't to bad. It would be great to be able to send a robot workforce to the moon (or into orbit) to build a base like sawyer suggests, and Dextre is a step in that direction. Proving Dextres worth would be a big step towards that.
