I want to be able to encase myself in a cocoon and emerge as a giant insect. With blades. Those horrible blades.

Just makes it even easier for the government to watch you every moment of your life.

I wouldn't be a human fly. I think it would be a cross between a grasshopper, a cockroach and a mantis. It would be cool.

nasa
One of the mentors on our team that works at NASA was recently telling me that he was being moved from his current building to work on a new project. He'll be a machinist for a project at NASA Langely to make flying minature robots (basically, insects like this one). Sounds neat, and since I'm working there this summer I hope I'll be able to check it out!

update
Just to let you all know, I attended a Colloquium talk yesterday on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles here at NASA. The insect-like ones are mainly a DARPA project, as they have a 6 in max size restriction. The work here is on backpack-sized UAVs. We got to see a few examples, and they are very impresive.
