    Can any of you tell me when I'm getting my jet pack?

    Collectively as science nerds, we decided you don't need one. Instead were working in getting you a hoverboard.

    The Martin Jetpack is apparently only a year or so from commercial release. Sure, it can only carry 30 minutes of fuel, but it'd make the daily commute more lively.

    You can get one right now if you just have enough money. And courage.

    Man, I want a hoverboard. Jetpacks would probably hurt my shoulders.

    I'm sure you can get a harness that evenly distributes the force all across your torso.

    along with time travel.

    Part of the technology I invented actually keeps the rider on the board, unless there is an emergency. I haven't perfected it yet, but I am also working on teleportation

    There are serious logistical issues with time travel. Like the fact that unless you're time machine can send you to any point in space, as well as time, you'll probably travel backwards or forwards and end up in space and die.

    The TARDIS is actually the only practical time machine ever conceived.

    What an obscenely presumptuous statement. That's like saying "long-sleeved shirts are the only practical clothing ever conceived."

    And we told you we're close. So now let's talk about other sciency things we were promised that haven't happened yet. I mean, I was promised time travel in 1985. I'm waiting for my time travel.

    Not really. Any time machine that isn't also a space ship or can guarantee it lands on Earth in another time period will kill its occupants. Very few time machines actually have this ability, but with the TARDIS it's built into the name. And since it predates most other space travelling time machines it gets the credit for being the first.

    Why use Google when the Collective of EoFF already know everything?
