Jetpacks: Here Now, and as Cool as we Dreamed
Filed under: Science, Science Fiction, Technology, The Future
Thanks to Cristina at Ninjatronics for forwarding us this link to one of the coolest things ever. I mean, how can you not be cool with one of these water powered jet packs strapped on your back? Look at these people soar. “Weeeeeeeeeeee!!!!”
The Rocketeer’s got nothing on this. Forget the fact you can only go 30 feet high or travel 25 mph. Soon, we’ll be able to cut the umbilical cord tethering us to the water and soar like birds, and be really really cool.
Mars Vacation: Sit Back, Relax, and Enjoy the Water

Great news for all the travelers out there. Scientists discovered salt water on Mars, and our resident experts think it’s only a matter of time before man can terraform Mars into the newest and swankiest vacation hot spot in the solar system (take that Dubai). You can read about the discovery here at Astronomy.com.
Terraforming is the process of modifying the atmosphere and physical features of an alien world to support human life. According to Nilton Renno, a University of Michigan professor quoted in the Astronomy.com article, “A large number of independent physical and thermo dynamical evidence shows that saline water may actually be common on Mars.”
Megalomaniac billionaire and frequent Loki Times contributor Nelson Rattathorn III says he plans to develop the first resort on Mars.
“I’ve spent millions on nano-molecular replicative scienctific research. If there is even a trace amount of water on Mars, I’ll be able to replicate it on a massive scale. Just think of surfing with only a third of Earth’s gravity. You’d be able to rocket off a wave without fear of a painful impact on your way back down. This is the next big thing. Earth is out. Mars is in,” said Nelson Rattathorn III to our reporters.
The news has rocked the tourism industry. Real estate moguls are chomping at the bit to start their bidding on Martian real estate. This could get ugly, but also become a much needed shot of adrenaline to the global economic crisis.
What would you do on a vacation to Mars?

A recent UFO sighting caught on tape by the citizens of Brean, UK has experts scratching their heads. The video depicts a metallic, cigar shaped UFO traveling silently at an extremely high altitude. The question everyone is asking: What is this UFO and why is it visiting the quiet coastal village of Brean? We think we have the answer.
Economic Recession = Jobs For Robots
Filed under: Artificial Intelligence, Robot Psychology, Robots, Technology, The Future
Could the recession accelerate the inevitable rise of the machines? Robots with primitive forms of intelligence are spreading like wild fire, and the current global economic crisis is feeding the flames. Since we can harness these robots as slaves to do our dirty work for a fraction of the cost of human workers, it makes since that this economical option is so appealing to employers. But are the benefits worth the risk to mankind? Read more
The Microscopic Bio-Robot Slave Rebellion

How do you fight something you can’t even see?
That’s a question plaguing those who fear developing technology that will produce microscopic bio-robot slaves. The plan is to design a kind of bacteria-cyborg which can be built smaller and more efficiently then some of the more advanced nanotechnologies out there (read about it here). But many scientific watchdog groups are extremely concerned about the possibility of these bacteria-cyborg slaves rebelling against their creators and wreaking havoc on mankind.
Bobby Binder, a member of scientific watchdog group SARS-FR, said the following:
“We’re talking about equipping microscopic bacteria with the weapons of the future. Are we mad? Bacteria are invisible to the naked eye. They can penetrate the pores of our skin. They outnumber mankind billions to one. Bacteria is one of the most deadly killers on the planet. And let’s not forget that they are also one of the most adaptable of all organisms. How do you think we’d fight them, if, let’s say, they decide to rebel agains their human masters? Think about it. Watch the Fantastic Voyage, and you’ll see what bacteria would do to humans if given the chance.”
Proponents of microscopic bio-robot slaves (bacteria-cyborgs) say they could aid in a wide range of fields, including medical technology.
Where do you stand? Microscopic Bio-Robot Slaves: helpers to mankind OR potential destroyers?
