Buy A Jetpack For $100,000… Yes, Really!

Tue, Nov 23, 2010

Odd News

Our dreams have come true!

The Martin Aircraft Company has announced that recreational jetpacks will soon go on sale for $100,000.

There’s no word on how safe they will be, how fast they will go, how high they will go or how long a flight will a last… but who cares!?  This is great news.

We can finally go to all those strange places and remote destinations — all for the price of an RV.

Seriously, put that into perspective.  You could buy an RV for $100,000… or you could buy a jetpack for $100,000.

Sure, the RV has a kitchen, beds and airbags, and the jetpack doesn’t.  But the jetpack can fly!  So suck on that RV.

The company says they’re “trying to make the world’s easiest-to-fly aircraft” and they hope their jetpack will become the Segway of the sky.

Maybe that’s not the best title considering the owner of Segway died by driving a Segway off a cliff.  And Segways are way less dangerous — and slower — than personal jetpacks.  So let’s hope for the best.

Just a reminder to our lovely readers that Christmas is coming up… hint, hint.
