Hey, check this out: a man just flew across the English Channel using--are you ready for this?--a single-propelled-jet-wing. Or, in somewhat sexier terms, a jetpack.
Sadly, I don't think these are going to be readily available anytime soon. I wonder, though. If jetpacks ever become widely available, are we going to see a whole new "jetpack culture" that'll imitate the "car culture" of a few decades ago?
By this, I mean: will we have jetpack-in theater? Jetpack-in diners? Will young toughs soup up their jetpacks and go drag-racing in the stratosphere? And will anyone ever write the definitive jetpack song? Will there ever be a "Little Deuce Coupe" for Generation Jetpack?
