They've done it. Jetpacks are not too far from being a real thing. Check out this video from the Smithsonian's "Future is Here" festival. This pilot took flight for 20 seconds and landed safely back on the launch pad. Although you can buy them now, you can buy the parts to build them. With that said, I need a handyman and someone that is really good with craigslist. Any takers?
