Even Rupert Murdoch Would Like You to Now Please Have a Jetpack
It might not do much to immediately stimulate the bload-soaked economy, but today’s Wall Street Journal does a nice job of sizing up the contemporary jetpack market. Great to see hard-working San Jose engineer Nino Amarena and his Thunderbolt Aerosystems get some ink. Amarena tells the Journal his “dream is to be the Henry Ford of rocketeers,” and we say God speed, sir! Thunderbolt is selling its machine for $90, 000, far less than some other similar jetpacks on the market, but it’s safe to say that the Thunderbolt R2G2’s technology is still being perfected. In any case, the dream endures, people! Speaking of, look for the Spring issue of Good magazine, out soon, wherein I make a fairly impassioned—and I would like to think compelling—case for the redoubling of the effort to realize such a dream. I know you are busy, President Obama, but let me remind you that as my generation’s JFK, it seems like it might be your destiny to finally make it happen.
