the above image accompanies this story about Swiss inventor Yves Rossy the image shows him during a successful five-minute test flight he’s just made using his personal jetpack, after jumping from an aeroplane at about 2.3K meters surprisingly, the story doesn’t contain the usual statement about how the jetpack will be publicly available “in five years”; it just limits itself to “in the future”; somehow, the Stumblng Tumblr finds such modesty re-assuring; maybe Rossy really has “the right stuff” ——
