UP, UP, AND A-WAY TOO EXPENSIVE

There’s good news and bad news for everyone who wants to avoid rush hour by strapping on a jetpack and zipping off to work each morning. The good news is that a consumer version of the personal jetpack is finally a reality. The U.S. company Thunderbolt Aerosystems has spent the last 10 years perfecting the rocket-fuel powered gadget and you’ll be able to order your very own next May at Thunderman.net. The bad news is that this gadget is really just a toy for the extremely wealthy. While the jetpack can reach the sweet speed of 75 miles per hour it only flies for just over a minute at and costs over $90,000.
