Fusion Man AKA Rocket Man

[gordon gartrelle]

I don't know if this has been covered on NT, but this just occurred a couple of days ago in Switzerland. It's incredible what some humans are capableof doing.

Yves Rossy, known as the 'Fusion Man,' flies with a jet-powered single wing over the Alps in Bex, Switzerland,Wednesday, May 14, 2008. Some people go fishing on their day off. Yves Rossy likes to jump out of a small plane with a pair of jet-powered wings and performfigure eights above the Swiss Alps. The revolutionary human flying machine comes after five years of training and many more years of dreaming.

Give it ten years, it'll be a thing of the past. But for now I've gotta say that's one of the most amazing things I've seen in my 19 years.

Not gonna happen. Flying for a few minutes after gliding from a free fall drop is one thing, taking off from the ground is another.
