"Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose
them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."

- Michael Ignatieff, addressing Stanford University in 2012

Nah, it's just another GEV. Still, it's got more potential then whatever Moller's been pushing for years. For at least this one functions without a tether.

I've heard about this before. Never thought they would be going to market with it so soon. What I heard seemed promising, though... You ride it somewhat like a motorcycle in that the way you shift your weight affects where it will go.
