I think these have been brought up before. Get the May 08 edition of Pop. Science for their article on "The Real Iron Man". That video is way out of date compared to it.

Ok and now the essential question...for what purpose? If one country initiates the next World War all countries are gonna nuke 'em. Doesn't matter how many lazers they have. They need to be charging them first anyway. :downs:

There's a sort of universal understanding that nukes are not to be used where conventional warfare has a chance of prevailing.

Having said that, this suit combined with the nano technology the US is developing could mean that we have a functioning supersoldier program within the next 20-40 years.
