Gravity Industries make jetpacks. They're not practical. They're not meant for mass use. But they are a lot of fun. They asked if I wanted to try flying one. Thanks to gravity.co/ - this is not sponsored but, obviously, they did give me a flight in a jetpack.

For anyone interested, I happened to ask for the price for training a few Month ago, and they replied this: Flight Training is £5000 ($6500) per person per day + VAT. We host up to three pilot candidates in one day which speeds up competency as you learn together. Typically by the end of one day, most are able to achieve a basic hover with the tether visibly slack. Flight Experience is £2000 ($2600) per person per day + VAT. This involves a tour of the Gravity Lab, a flight demo by one of our Pilots and two powered runs on the tethered Training Rig to give you that mind-blowing visceral experience.

Because it doesn't lift you by farting.

I am glad they talked about the jetpack's failure mode, because I was curious about that. I'm less glad that the failure mode is "you just fall, so don't fly too high".

@romanjustroman7445 3 года назад

IDK if it's much usable with just 4 minutes of flight time. Keep in mind that you don't only need to get there, but also return to base, which means the range of operation is even less than 4 minutes.

The man’s point of “human brains can learn this entirely new thing very quickly” is incredible. That’s one thing that makes us so very different from any other animal, and is also why I’m not that worried about “AI” right now - they’re not even close to being as adaptable as us.

I think what caught my attention the most was how close the assistants could stand to Tom with the engines running and not get frazzled to a crisp…that suggests that when the bugs get ironed out, it'll need a lot less room to take off and land than one might initially think 🤔
