If the world ,especially americans , stop WASTING money on wars and use the money for some other things that is important for future generation....this jet pack would probably in the market now..

@JBiswoman Nope, the 1% need their tax cuts. Sadly the most of the 99% are too stupid to see they are being robed. Just throw out some talking points like 'free market' or 'job creators' and most Americans will happily fight against their own best interests, just look at the tea baggers for one example.

2:11 St. Margarets beach in Kent. You can see a pill box in the cliff if you put the video to 1080p I climbed up into there about a year ago. There's an interesting network of tunnels inside. One leads to the other side of the cliff where the pillbox has fallen into the water and it's a sheer drop off onto the rocks below :)

@MrPillotTeddy ...in what way? ...like Wright Brothers' "retarded"...or John Glen "retarded"...or Vultan, titular King of the Hawkmen under Emperor Ming the Merciless -Ruler of the Inter-Galactic Planet, Mongo and Master of this Universe..."retarded"...hm-m, I've a feelin' a whole new concept of "Flash Gordon" will be comin' outta Hollywood not too far off...giv'n 2dayz CGI...th' film should be killa...

Now, Jet Man here...he don' use no "CGI" when he fly...wut u seez izz wut u getz!

I'd do it.

[SittingMooseShaman]

...ok, the jet-suit is now a reality...& hot-damn, if I wasn't so damn ill...I too would be screaming-the-skies in onna 'em wings...only I'd kick it up a notch & make it a friggin operational Gundam unit: Complete w/Lasers & Flaming-Troglodyte Firing Tri-Cannon...

Most all hate 'em -yet everyone goes to battle(in some form) to 'stop' 'em...

"Wars"...well, make the world spin 'round...cause the 'Left' hates the 'Right' and vice versa...& all we in between gotta fight to keep 'em apart..."Dive!"

[SittingMooseShaman]

@JBiswoman ...sure, if arrogant, condescending people stopped giving cause for such "wars." Say-y. Why not spend some of your money to this lofty goal of yours? And towards the expenses for the burgeoning lawyer, insurance-carrier & govt-regulation 3-ring circus sure to follow.

Now, if you are European...there is the business of your WW2: Which STILL bears much of the sinew in todays' conflict(s); STILL, the Aftermath!

& Take your "Bad-USA"-attitude and put a lid on it. It's become cliche'...

[hyboost]

Yeah JBiswoman, Important and practical things like Jet Suits! Ha Ha. You are so misinformed it isn't funny.
