Not available in my country? Did they put some background music in? Sigh ...

They did. Works via proxy for Germans :) eg. http://hidemyass.com/

Appropriately, it's the music from Top Gun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8rZWw9HE7o

A little unclear on what the engine is. Doesn't seem to be an actual jet engine, though. This is an RC with a jet engine (two, actually, since it's an F-14): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IXQVh5IbHc

I can imagine that in 30 years' time you'll be able to purchase time on drones by the hour, and stage your own robotic exploration of the Antarctic from the comfort of your living room.

At least for me, that would ring hollow. Without the risk to your life, where is the thrill?

You don't do things because you're interested, only when it risks your life?

If humans can get a kick from exploring the randomly generated terrain of a Minecraft map, I'm sure we can get a kick from driving robots around the south pole :)

And I can just see how the industry would unfold now:

  Developer 1: "Oh no, we have to shut down our 
  mining operations in the Antartic because of the 
  price change on DroidEngine!"

  Developer 2: "Yeah, we're running 2x30 sized 
  exploration teams leased from ADS (Amazon Drone Services).
  Wayyy cheaper!"
