Give Me an Exoskeleton!!!
celebrityscraps | November 27, 2007So we’ve all seen films like Aliens etc where the futuristic heroes wear mechanical exoskeletons to give them superhuman strength. Well it now looks like the military contractor “Sarcos” has developed an exoskeleton that with further development will enable super soldiers to be the staple of the battlefield.. although i’d expect them to cost a pretty penny… and since the governments at the moment have a problem shelling out for body armour and boots that don’t melt for their troops I think they might have a budget problem equiping all their troops with this one.

Or wouldn’t it just rip the guys arm off?
