Not until just now.

They need to apply that technology to something fun. It would be like
those hot air balloon rides except you could go to more places faster
more often and with greater safety.

You could have conventional power backup for emergencies or getting

This is the best way for most people to see charismatic wild animals.

Most animals scatter when a hiker is even a mile away.
