Soldiers in Jetpacks

 

The above video has been circulating for a number of years. But were you aware that way back in October of 1961 at Fort Bragg at what is now the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare School a demonstration was held showing a soldier with a rocket on his back crossing the water to land on the other side?

Not to mention the opening scene from the 1965 James Bond thriller Thunderball which showed Bond escaping in a jetpack.

We've been promised the ubiquity of jetpacks for a long time now.
