Very cool! I'm sure it has better range than a jet pack. Speaking of fuel, can it autogyro?

omg, i've got to play jet-pack brontosaurus!!

One of the other movies - Generations - was supposed to start. In the leaked script version - with Kirk flying around in a jet pack at the beginning. I remember that because I was the typical geek kid disappointed to NOT see that in the opening. Budget and time cut I guess.

Jumping out of the car = similar effect. But wait, this is ALL kids? Really? (reads wiki). Huh, all new cast. Interesting. Hmm, talk about *spacy too.

Oh man, I totally forgot what the entire movie was about - had to check out the Wiki link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_Generations Now, though, I recall something cool about the whole thing - I read an earlier draft of the script online which was shared on a BBS I used to call (anyone remember BBSes?).

The opening sequence was similar, except it had Kirk flying around on a rocket jet pack - it was SOOO cool in text. I was disappointed they clearly cut that part out.

A jet pack operation ftw.

Actually a pretty catchy tune, too.

Oh, right. The genious hypothesis that throngs of secret government ninjas repeatedly infiltrated the two towers and apparently 7WT dressed as UPS delivery boys for months and perhaps years on end before 9/11/01 planting these so-called "much more advanced" military bombs that explode without actually generate any sound, yet are capable of collapsing a building. But wait, call me stupid but anything that explodes causes noise as a result of the compression of sound waves spreading out from the source. So, the military must have even more advanced technologies than we conspiracy theorists were aware!

Perhaps they are so advanced they no longer even need bombs. Perhaps there were invisible laser beams being fired from a distance. Or is more likely that they government has simply developed termites with diamond teeth and an appetite for metal and they were simultaneously all released from their well-hidden hibernation tubes located on each floor right near the appropriate support beams within the walls? And of course since these much more advanced termites have been in hibernation for years, they had quite the appetite and they powered through the building so quickly that dust and smoke started pouring out which is why people mistakenly believe there was a fire in the building. Then I guess to leave no evidence behind, they must have had jet-packs attached so when the building came down they were able to fly away hidden in the clouds of smoke only to be captured later and assassinated alongside all the secret govnernment ninjas so they could never reveal in what they had participated.

Maybe the ninjas in fact delivered newborn babies into the walls of the buildings on every floor 10 years ago with a decade worth of foodstuffs and a How-To manual for the included welding kit they would instinctively know to break open on the morning of 9/11. Hmm, but they'd need to use the bathroom and might die of boredom... Perhaps they were really robots with advanced military laser beams that cut through all the major supports for the building.

Oh, but wait, the video that dictates what I'm supposed to believe says from "explosive energy" that caused the "hot dust clouds." Looks like I'm back at square one...

Help me out here. There are just so many very plausible, believable, realistic theories that it's hard to determine with which one I should embarass myself by announcing my enormous gullibility to the world.

Or wait, maybe gorgonheap has a point: Code in the united states requires that buildings over 3 stories high be able to collapse in on themselves so as not to damage, or to minimize damage to surrounding structures.
Nah, he's out of his mind. It was the government with their advanced ninja non-exploding-bomb weapons. Everyone knows it.

That's a cool little lazy Susan they got there, spin and test it looks like,....

Strap a couple a' those on yer back for a home-made jet pack, or Darwin Award, whichever comes first!

"Try it on the cat first!"

Only a matter of time before these are standard items for Spec Ops forces. Imagine how cool it would be to sneak a jet pack like these behind enemy lines to use for a swift extraction...

I've had a 360 since launch day. Best console I have ever owned. Will it remain better then the Wii or the PS3? that is yet to be known, but as of now, I still can game for hours on it. nothing is better then playing on live with all your co workers a co-op game of G.R.A.W. Shouting tactics to your team mates. Or playing Elimination Perfect Dark in a server with 32 players and having no lag what so ever. Jumping into a jet pack and driving it right into the enemy base then laying down suppressive fire and taking out the entire opposing team. Or getting into an ice cream truck in dead rising and driving it around the mall literally killing over 100 zombies a second.

no other console does that. No other console as of yet CAN! So you can be a fan boy all you want, but as of right now the reality is no other console compares to it.

Just when you're wondering "what the hell else could they possibly come up with", the jet pack man comes to refuel the plane.
