The Jetlev-Flyer
Short of owning a hover-bike, I’ll know the future is really here when jetpacks are available to the public. It seems, then, that the future is just around the corner.
According to this aricle at PopSci.com, a functioning jetpack will be on sale later this year. Granted, the $130,ooo price tag might be prohibitive, it is still early days for the techonology — the price is bound to come down.
The only downside of this recreational bit of technology is the 33 foot hose that runs from the pack to the water source. Did I mention that it’s water-powered?
Yeah. It is.

Boba Fett wouldn’t be caught DEAD with a water jetpack…FAIL.
Well, you try going to the beach in Boba Fett’s outfit. Guy’s obviously not a swimmer.
I know, but…he’s Boba Fett!
Boba Fett may be Boba Fett, but he died like a pansy. And, honestly, as much as I like the guy, he never did anything really cool…
At the risk of descending further into geekdom, we never really saw enough of him to know. Besides, he died fighting…not real pansy-ish!
Seems, given the demise of both he and his (clone) father, the real issue is a jetpack way too susceptible to outside damage.
Fighting? He was knocked into a pit by a blind man BY ACCIDENT! And he lets out a girlie scream…
