rocket packs 12-19-08

WIRED TV

first ever rocket belt convention was at Niagara falls! under an army program called operation grasshopper a guy tried to make a rocket belt. Its flight, however, was not much longer than a grasshoppers flight. they use peroxide to make the rocket belt fly. it comes out as steam and that is what powers the belt into the air. a guy performed for J.F.K., showing off the new rocket belt. now adays people are still flying, or trying to, rocket belts. It is many peoples dream to fly one. Eric Scott is the pilot of the most high tech one around today. they can fly over buildings and and sorts of things. the biggest problem with them is the generation, which happens to be about 15 seconds. They say that it was 15 seconds 40 years ago! they must not have done much since then, or what they have done has not been very successful.
