Jetpack Dreams

Jetpack Dreams: One Man's Up and Down (But Mostly Down) Search for the Greatest Invention That Never Was Jetpack Dreams: One Man's Up and Down (But Mostly Down) Search for the Greatest Invention That Never Was by Mac Montandon


My review


rating: 3 of 5 stars
Pretty fun little book following the author's search for jetpacks (rocket belts, mostly.) Their history, their science, why they won't really work for general use. Mostly, though, this is a celebration of the wacky people who are attracted to jetpacks, their different approaches to building them, and their successes and failures.
