Flyboard Air company purchased
The company that designed the Flyboard Air jet hoverboard, featured here only two days ago in the Evening Pause, has been purchased by Implant Sciences, a company whose primary focus until now was explosive detection technology for the Homeland Security.
Implant Sciences is currently looking into the possibility of selling its explosives detection business, and the purchase of Zapata is subject to shareholder approval. Overall though, it seems pretty confident that the move could lead to big things. “We are beyond excited to have visionaries like Franky Zapata and his team on board and we are thrilled to allow for shareholders to benefit from the many breakthrough products he has already invented and the new innovations he will be unveiling in coming months and years.” said Implant Sciences president Robert Liscouski.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

These “hover-boards” are way cool, and the technology & associated spin-offs will be amazing.
Not aimed at Implant Sciences in particular, but if anyone is interested in investing in “space,” or just has an interest in how the financial end plays out, highly advise looking up any of these Company’s, at the http://www.sec.gov website.
Click on the “EDGAR” tool, to view their Public Filing’s.
(That includes the big-guys as well. They have even more stringent reporting requirements & are required to list out all sorts of “worst case analysis” type data, qualifier’s, & legal boiler-plate.)
Only had time to look very (extremely) lightly at Implant Sciences.
They appear to currently have a 60-40 mix of business between private (60) & government(40) contracts.
(Not making any judgements on them– take that factoid with a grain of salt.)
They have been in business since at least 1999 & I intend to check out their extensive list of filing’s to get a feel for what they plan to do going forward.)
