Comments on: Video: A jet-pack flight over a Colorado gorge

Jet packs are science fiction no more. A stuntman uses hydrogen peroxide-filled tanks to propel himself 1,500 feet across the Royal Gorge.

How is this news? That looks exactly like the Jet Pack that James Bond used, and that pack actually worked as well. I wouldn't be surprised that this is the same stunt man here just doing it over something big this time.

Wow jet packs, killer bees, space stations - we are really in the future predicted in the 60s that would happen in the 70s.

This was done already. Bell Aerospace developed this originally. Williams international took it further and under governent contract developed what was called the WASP

Uhh... "But jet packs are science fiction no more" The first jetpack that I know of using this very same design came out in the early 60s. Its still cool that this guy flew over a gorge without a parachute, but that was a bad line to write. These devices have been around for a pretty long time, the only thing sci-fi about them is the idea that they will ever be mass adopted.

Where can I get one of these now?
