Thanks for the share.
It's very interesting from a pure technological view but I found it emotional and very motivating as well. It saddens me that this technology is limited to so few people and it's not accessible to those with little resources.

indeed but not all that long ago a PC was only available to the very few.. once they have the blue prints it will spread out and filter down. These things cost money and it takes time to build it up. The advances in limbs has been huge over the last few years. The running blades we see that are so common now days are not that old but vast improvement over the old.
