    When are we going to finally ditch rocket propulsion technology and adopt whatever the hell the Jetsons were using? I think we're heading down the wrong path here.

    Didn't those silly Limeys build an airplane that does this sort of thing already, not to mention flies pretty quick and can hold people? I hate when we are trying to play catch up with people that talk funny on a big island.

    This looks cool, but I do not get the sense of the size of it in this picture. Is it 60 feet, 6 feet, or 6 inches? Or maybe all three simultaneously, which might be a sign of something entirely different.

    @iwishiwasjeff: I think it's some metal mesh thing. They're probably using it so the robot doesn't break if it falls.

    @Hello Mister Walrus: the mesh is designed to channel the thrust gases away to avoid damage - the same idea is used when testing VTOL Jets to avoid exhaust ingestion into the intakes. Here I'd say it's to avoid blasting the lander with them.

    @teohhanhui: not in use no. but during testing where they can have miscalibrated the thrust levels, they want to avoid any chance of the gases impacting the prototype
