No really! (This may not end well.)
And the manufacturer's name really is "Cyberdyne."

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth.

Iron Man comes to mind….
Ironside meets Iron Man.
Now if someone wearing the suit in this article could pick up and remove the “statue” in the previous article – then we might have something.

Clones from Star Wars come to mind too…
I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.
Hmmmm….Helping paraplegics and others regain freedom of motion is a good thing….but the company name “Cyberdyne” gives me the creeps. And that the military is interested. Terminator, anyone?
This was featured on the history channel sometime back I believe…
“The suit functions by responding to the body’s nerve signals, which are fed into the suit’s computer and converted electronically. When the brain sends a command to move a particular part of the body, the corresponding part of the suit reacts”
Wow. I wonder how they managed to accomplish that.
I don’t see this as something new. This is power equipment. It’s just shrinking down power equipment to roughly skin-tight dimensions. Ya know, kinda like a eco-car. 😉
Do the Time Machines still function normally if the living human tissue is inside the mechanical parts rather than outside?
I’m sure the blue lighting is purely functional, and not just for looks.
Two thoughts: First, I bet that this suit doesn’t rend its wearer limb from limb! One more reason for me to think the entire Spartan project was just completely misguided. Second, next project: Morph Ball.
(Look, I don’t know from Terminator. Video game references are the best I can do.)
