They need to add a mini rocket launcher or something.

I only read to the first sub-header.  Do they say whether or not he received any feedback from the arm, or is it one-way communication only?

It didn't say, but I think it's safe to assume that it is one way communication. Two way might be long way off.

Even if it's one-way, I would expect that two-way shouldn't be that far off. There is already technology for robots that can provide feedback to a person manning the controls, I would think that it shouldn't be that difficult to modify the feedback mechanism to transfer impulses to his nerves. Just like it took him practice to be able to control the robotic arm, it would just take him some practice to accurately interpret the information that was being fed back to him.
