[Rasa1111]

If this doesnt make you smile, I dont know what will! lol

Yves Rossy, the guy who flew over the english channel last year with a jet pack, has a new creation! That he launches from a hot air balloon..

Watching this made me unnaturally happy! haha :D

So amazing, Just watch.

Can you imagine?

I would gladly give a limb to be able to do this!
(afterwards, of course) lol

Watch him zoom past.., straight up into the clouds, around the clouds, over the top of them, and back down..

He is crazy!
(the best possible kind of crazy) lol

There is another video here of him explaining how he controls it. :)

I thought I had read once that jet packs on can carry about three minutes worth of fuel and that and the difficulty in flying them made them impractical.
