Words can’t really describe this video. 

Okay, maybe they can:  Jetpacks are real now, and in 2008 you can own one. 

Jetpacks International is the company that has spent millions of dollars and five years developing their Personal Flying Machine.  Granted, some of the models will only fly for 30 or 45 seconds.  But the consumer model they plain to sell next year can fly for 10 miles (I certainly hope that it’s not 10 miles in 30 or 45 seconds!). 

I think I speak for men everywhere when I say, “Where’s the line?”  I mean, seriously, who hasn’t dreamed of owning their own jetpack?  The only trouble I can forsee is how we’re going to regulate these things.  Sure, the price tag is sure to serve as a regulation method all its own for quite a while.  But once these things come down in price, how are we going to keep any sort of order in the skies with hundreds of these things flying around?  Oh well, I’m sure we’ll all just get along fine, politely waiting for other jetpacks to pass.
