Bibliotekernes beskrivelse: Jetpack Dreams chronicles the colorful pop history and science of that most amazing and mysterious of machines: the jetpack. Fueled by a fascination and lifelong obsession with the power of flight, journalist Mac Montandon goes on a vastly entertaining search of the elusive invention. He examines the jetpacks inspiration from the first shoulder-mounted wings to Bill Suitors 1984 Olympic flight, even uncovering a gruesome jetpack-related murder in Houston. From the earliest days of the pack to its enduring role in popular culturewith Buck Rogers, James Bond, Boba FettMontandon seeks to answer two simple questions: Where is the jetpack that was promised to him, and to all of us, years ago? And if its out there, can he catch a ride?
