Indeed although I have help a microscope over an ant as a child. Surely that counts.

But we do happen to have directed energy weapons.

Yes, but they're not practical in combat due to power requirements

it would be good but i have a feeling the first thing someone will use it for is a weapon

We already have bioweapons.

I just saw an segment on the news that a private robotics company and the army are co working on development of an exosuit the suit is in it's final phase of deveolopment, all the need to do now is create a power pack

has anyone heard the news about possible cloneing for livestock. Cloned byproducts may be in your supermarkets in as little as about 5 years

I think it would be possible to create an armor suit with a jetpack to fly, and it could have radar and communication and night-vision and some basic weaponry like small missiles. Maybe that's what they're doing at Area 51--reverse engineering iron-man, not alien ships.
