Aero-X hoverbike goes on sale in 2017: Star Wars racing in your own back yard for just $85,000
2014-05-19 17:53:20| Extremetech
It isn't a hoverboard, but it is the next best thing: Californian company Aerofex is now taking down payments for the Star Wars-like Aero-X hoverbike. Priced at $85,000 the Aero-X certainly isn't cheap, but if it actually comes to market as promised in 2017, I don't think the price tag will be an issue for early adopters. The Aero-X, if it performs as advertised, will be capable of carrying up to 140 kilos (310 lbs), at an altitude of 3.7 meters (12 feet), at speeds of up to 72 kph (45 mph).

Here on Earth, at NASA's Ames Research Center in California, scientists have created stardust -- or more accurately, they've recreated the dust that forms in the outer atmosphere of a dying red giant star. Out there in space, over millions of years, this interstellar dust gathers together into a nebula and goes on to coalesce into planets and other stars. Down here on Earth, of course, NASA isn't trying to create its own planets (not yet, anyway) -- no, they have the much more humble undertaking of trying to better understand how the universe and its trillions of planets and stars evolved over the last 14 billion years.
