Elon Musk should buy this technology and improve it dramatically link That would bring him that much closer to Tony Stark. 9 minutes of flight time is probably all you need to get through an Iron Man movie, but if you're going to use the suit for real work, you probably need an hour before you have to refuel. Also, repulsors. I don't think that the inventor has finished them yet. |

Flying is the easy part; It's landing in one piece that still needs a lot of work… ;-) |

Well sooner or later I think the military will have something approaching an Ironman suit. I think they are working on one project called TALOs(?) aka Ironman suit. Would certainly give SF type some help hunting terrorists, etc. I'd love to see the looks on the faces of some ISIS, AQ, Taliban, etc., moments before Delta Forces, SEALs, etc. Operators "terminate them with extreme prejudice" … Up close and personal … |

Ah yes, the age-old dream of having a force of Starship Troopers to root out all those left-handed redheads in your city! :) |

You know, I always thought that the personal jetpack was what this world needed. No more road congestion, etc… but then I grew up and experienced the stupidity of the majority of the worlds population and I think personal jetpacks are exactly what we need to help thin the genepool a little. That said, putting one on a powersuit that an individual is trained on would be super cool! |

Off-topic: "Ah yes, the age-old dream of having a force of Starship Troopers to root out all those left-handed redheads in your city! :)" Anybody ever try to game this scenario using the film-inspired minis or the Avalon Hill boardgame ? |

Thank goodness I'm right-handed! |
