PLN 13

I read an article called, Royal Gorge jet-pack stunt successful and it made me think about how far technology is going lately. Somehow scientists managed to make a hydrogen-peroxide powered jet pack that actually works. What's next a flying car? Or robots to do everything for us? The jet pack couldn't fly for longer than 20 seconds so the military saw it as pointless to use. I believe it is crazy that the man that flew across the Royal Gorge and not use a parachute, he must of been really reliable on the jet pack to fly him across. I would wear a parachute if I was flying a jet pack than can only fly for about 20 seconds over 1,100 feet deep gorge. Science has brought a fictional item, into the real world.
