When I was younger ‘The Rocketeer’ was one of my favorite movie. A little film noir mixed with flying, and getting the girl, so perfect. While I have to admit the Jetpack idea seems fun, the BOOM that is often associated with it kind of scares me off. This video is from the people at Jetpack International, setting the new speed record.

They manage to get to 68MPH using hydrogen peroxide, and ‘precious metals.’ I am not sure what those are, but you sure as hell can bet I am going to try to find some when I get home . . .
