Thunderbolt Aerosys Splashtems has finally taken a cue from Hollywood movies and developed a jet pack that will allow its users 75 seconds of flight time. You read that right…75 seconds…not minutes. Its no “James Bond” or “The Rocketeer” but it is a start. So for those lazy days when you would like to “jet-pack” your way to the mail box, laundry room or if you just want to be 75 seconds closer to any destination I think this is well worth the investment ($100,000).
Also this is a coup for scientist. They have been taking a beating from main stream blogs about their intelligence and just this morning D&F’s Bobby Sawyer lambasted them with this ominous diatribe,
“So, this is a notification to the world's scientists - I am no longer going to assume you are smart people. Before, the intelligence hierarchy was something like this: doctors, lawyers, scientists, Ken from Jeopardy, and the list goes on…Now, I'm putting scientists behind Deal or No Deal contestants.”
So, I say congrats to scientist everywhere. This is a huge win. I don’t see any Deal or No Deal contestants coming up with jet-packs that burn out after 75 seconds. Bravo. Walk proudly today…for tomorrow you start on Flying Cars.
