A Jetpack For The Rest Of US

Jetpacks are coming along. Everyone in awhile, we see a video of a prototype, and we get a bit excited, but nothing really happens from there. Well, here's another video, but this one seems a bit more realistic than others, mainly because the company has put a price tag on them and intends to sell them to the public... for $100,000.

The video is a bit underwhelming, in my opinion, if only because they never let the man go. The two dudes hold the sides and stabilize it the whole time. But they are saying that you should be able to take off and float around for a good 30 minutes. Not really a travel replacement, the Martin Jetpack should make a fun addition to the Homotron collection of gizmos (ain't that right, Tiny? I know y'all are just dieing to spend $100,000 on a jetpack for us! I promise I won't use this one to spy on my exes... it's not my fault if they just happen to be somewhere within a 50-mile radius of me...)
