From the futuristic concept to the reality. [Fingers-crossed]

thorstein3726d ago

If we are just hearing about it now, then they already have them.

ApolloTheBoss3726d ago

May the almighty Talos guide them all.

adorie3726d ago

Good. Now we just have to wait a couple hundred years for the Brotherhood of Steel.

WWIII can't come soon enough!

SilentNegotiator3726d ago

If it can't fly, it's just an exoskeleton, not an Iron suit.

Got all excited for nothing.

Unreasonable expectations are usually met with realistic disappointments!

SilentNegotiator3726d ago (Edited 3726d ago )

It says "Iron Man" in the title, so IDK about "unreasonable" expectations...

And come on, I was only kidding. I didn't REALLY expect to open up the article and see that the government was developing an Iron Man suit that could chase jets and ran on an arc reactor. I would have THOUGHT that was obvious.

still a huge far cry of what the Iron Man suit is all about, nice try US military but try harder

Speed-Racer3726d ago

The military never promised an Iron Man suit, so I dunno why you guys are getting worked up about it. It just so happened that TALOS ended up getting dubbed as the Iron Man suit by the media. Still a big step imo.

cell9893725d ago

A good start, but not practical enough for real life combat

Because people are still Robophobic!!

xD

I wish the Samuel L Jackson talk show was real, I'd watch that shit always.

Idk why people cheer and get excited, like this is a good thing. It's not.

Anything produced by and for the US military, is not worth throwing a tailgate party for. Even if they could develop a real working Iron Man suit, which they obviously cant...at least not to the capacity of Tony Stark's fictional suit...it would be used as a "war machine"...no pun intended.

Just another tool to be used to murder people with.

Im sure at some point, years ago...people thought auto piloted drones would be cool too. That is...until they were used to murder children and such, in foreign countries. And remember, anything designed to be used as a weapon in foreign countries...can be used domestically as well. Against us.

Would any of you wanna go up against some trigger happy grunt, in a full armoured Iron Man suit? Armed with the latest, state of the art weaponry. I wouldnt.

I dont condone or support projects like these. Not a chance in hell...

Advancement of military tech also benefit civilians. Drones are also used to save civilian lives. The internet, the very same medium that you are using right now to express your fears, was born from military tech. Stop being cynical and narrow minded and grow up, kid.

Shad0wRunner3725d ago

First off, Im no kid at 33 years old. LOL.

No doubt, some military tech has saved countless lives. That is not in dispute. But at what cost? Our military has no fear of drone striking a facility or even a church full of innocent men, women and children...to kill a few dozen terrorists. Then claim it to be for the "greater good." These acts never saved MY life, nor has my life ever been in any danger from a foreign country.

In my 33 years alive, I can say with pure conviction...that our military would faster take a life...than save it. Especially if it aligned with some ulterior motive or agenda, outside of a noble cause. We are a nation of war. We always have been and always will be. We do not want peace and our economy cannot live on peace. Our entire system, was designed to thrive on war. And anything created and used by the military, specifically anything that can be weaponized...can and will be used in the name of war and murder. Justified and rationalized thru saving lives and preserving peace and freedom.

Lies...
