Turning to today’s ridiculous video –we don’t want to get your hopes too high, but this is not just a guy with a jetpack flying around the Statue of Liberty. It’s a guy with a prototype jetpack flying around the statue of liberty. The video, of course, is a fundraising appeal. Is it vaporware? We don’t know. But we want to believe. I mean, come on – it’s a jetpack! Either way, this is fun viewing.
