I may be mistaken...but I thought I saw a documentary about this product. NASA was using it. Was I dreaming? Did anyone else see/hear about this?

This product would be great to have at home, but at that price point who can afford it? I'll have to wait for several years before I would even consider the benefits of buying one.

A little too expensive, but way cool.

I love technology!
