We had some pretty sweet views of the future this week, from the first real-life jetpack being up for sale (with video!) to robots that will soon be taking our jobs. There was also a steam-powered car that could beat a regular sports car down the track and some new plans to put a gigantic liquid mirror on the moon. Meanwhile, in Shift, we looked at how wind energy could solve many of our energy problems.
