someone uses a jetpack.
a couple of japanese people make a jetpack out of pressurized water bottles and send a guy blasting off into a lake.
gotta hand it to the jetpack — as crazy and dangerous as the idea of a personal aircraft is, it still manages to captivate people enough to try and make it a reality. first it was skywalker jets with its goofy-looking and questionable flying apparatus; now it's a company called tecnologia aeroespacial mexicana, which is offering a rocket belt. from the looks of it, though, "rocket backpack" would probably have been a better name. according to the website, tam's rocket belt is fully tested and can fly a pilot up to 300 pounds. apparently the u.s. military researched the technology in the 1960s but quickly abandoned it upon realizing the jetpack could only hold enough fuel for 20-second flights, making it impractical for combat. tam picked up the idea a couple of years ago and has brought it to market. that is, if you consider selling them for $250,000 each a market. that's even more than the skywalker model, although your quarter mil gets you flight training, maintenance, and "24/7 expert support." guy answering that phone = easiest job in the world. scifi.com
the first thing i would do is try to get in on a flying v with a flock of birds. that would be cool.
