Future Soldiers may perhaps be able to live in th shoes of Tony Stark and his Iron Man suit. This suit is an exoskelelton that gives immense power to the wearer. Even in the prototype stage, it amplifies the strength of an average soldier 17 fold. So far this suit is only in use to carry heavy loads on the battlefield and moving heavy objects. But soon enough this fantasy suit, may become a valuable asset to combat. With the immense power that comes with the suit comes lots of money and energy. Hydraulic power is the most practical way to power the suit since battery powered suits may be harmful and dangerous. A hefty $150,o00 is needed to make a, 'Iron Man' suit, pretty hefty for a product in its early stages.
How soon will this become effective in battle and will not bring trouble to the user and people around them?
Why are we spending money on things like these when we could be spending it on reviving the economy or education or repaying our trillion dollar and more debt?
