Integrated and self-motile nanofluids have replaced the awkward necessity of stuffing clay into...
Then there is smart thinking on the implications of the technology. For free-fall combat, space suits have an attachment point for rifles so that the recoil goes through the marines center of gravity. Otherwise each shot would spin them like a top. And aiming the rifle is through a heads-...
