martin jetpack

You know, for a device as potentially bad ass as the Martin Jetpack is — the company boasts a maximum range of 31.5 miles at 63 mph, and the ability to hover at 8,000 feet above ground effect — the video we’ve seen thus far has been pretty lackluster. Of course, you can’t actually get your hands on one anyways (check back in January 2010), but that isn’t stopping the company from accepting your $10,000 deposit for the opportunity to get in on the ground floor. Despite all that, we couldn’t help but feel all a-flutter when we watched the newest clip and realized that someday soon our dreams of super heroism might be fulfilled — and with a rocket strapped to our back, no less. Check it out for yourself after the break.
