Iron man in real life

[FlickerYourOwnIdentity]

Did any of you hear about this?  Army is almost finished an iron man exoskeleton, it will help build strength, and it will also protect soldiers in combat.  It also looks exactly like an iron man suit.  Thoughts?

So it's a M.A.N.T.I.S. Suit then... I wonder how many of us old folks remember that show...

Supposedly it's bring tested in June.

In similar news, Nike says the power laces from Back to the Future's Marty McFly's Nikes will be in production in 2015. I don't know which of these is cooler.

I've heard of it.  It's basically an exoskeleton that amplifies your movements so the suit is doing all of the work.  So you can run longer, lift heavy things, etc.  it can't fly or shoot lasers.  Yet...

but we have jets and lasers too... Just gotta get some duct tape and presto...

[InfinitiveDivinity]

We don't have weapon grade lasers, and it would take a jet pack (whichever ones exist, but it's too expensive for now to use) to do that.

I think he was being sarcastic.

So it's kinda more like Warmonger then? Since A it's being used for soldiers
B it's more like an exoskeleton than a suit.
