do you know what they use to fuel that thing? how dangerous is it? I'm guessing not very, if they can go and fly into Michigan Stadium like that.

I definitely want one for my daily commute.

That was one of the cooler things I've ever seen. Everyone was wondering what the heck was going on when the flyover didn't happen. When they announced it was a "special flyover" and it would be "louder than a normal flyover" I was a little curious. I thought it might be like a helicopter or something. Then all of a sudden - BOOM, jet pack.

Well, they need to get some of dem dere smart people they say they have at the U of M and increase the time it works to about 20 minutes. Then i'll be able to use it to go to work.

We should definitely be able to get a man on the job. Hell, one of my roommates worked for Scaled Composites and won a cut of the X-Prize. Pretty sure I read something about that ship using some kind of advanced gel-fuel. ...but I think he's doing automobile stuff now. Switching to cars allowed him to move back to Ann Arbor.
