Here's a New Scientist article talking about the same guy and the same technology. The only thing that's new is the fact that NASA is considering it for moon bases.
When your average NASCAR driver crashes he doesn't leave a smoldering trail of toxic debris strewn over a state or two. Public safety is likely the reason that such rescue contingencies (as fruitless as they may be) are in place.
I wonder if it would be possible for larger versions of these to ferry rovers to various locations on the surface. The rover could roam around while the 'hopper compresses. When all is said and done the two dock with each other and set sail for another spot to explore.
1.Doc Ock is basically on a rampage, only -after- the car is thrown, and PP is back on his feet, do you see the Doc come around the corner. Unless a benefit of his implants is the ability to see through fairly solid buildings, this "error" is insubstantiated.
6. Just because the tentacles look heavy doesn't necessarily mean they're going to be loud. If you've ever been inside a vehicle plant you'd know that the gigantic robotic arms manipulating windshields run effectively silent, excepting of course their hydraulic pumps, something those highly dextrous arms lack.
19. This is yet another unsubstantiated claim to error. As far as the movie goes, we know nothing about the construction of the Docs manipulator arms. Albeit, they can hurl cars which could imply that they're quite strong, but climbing straight up a wall is a feat unto its own.
20. There would -never- be more than one Taxi in New York. Jeez, that'd be rediculous!
24. Well, Spidey rips through the multiple strands of barbed wire on his chest like it was putty, so it's conceivable that he tore through the one or two strands on his feet with considerable ease.
25. How can you honestly tell from that distance? There was a fairly decent glare on a shiny metal roof.
29. PP does the cool thing and kicks his mother and himself away from the vault door while they're both sitting on their chairs. That's why they're no longer behind the desk when it pans over..
32. Egads, could people have moved while the camera wasn't focused on that particular part of observatory? Out of the question!
I wish people would stop looking for faults in a movie to the point where they're creating them.
A classmate of mine, Vladic Lavrovsky, has won several awards for his project entitled "Enzyme Catalysis Methods for In-Situ Hydrocarbon Recovery". Designed with the tar sands in mind, his project outlines the usage of microorganisms with the Alcohol Dehydrogenase enzyme to assist in extraction of heavy bitumen from deeply deposited oil sands.
