Yes! Rocket Belts finally arrive

When the Space Year 2000 rolled around I was there ready with my silver jumpsuit and my food pills, waiting for the future. It seems I wasn't the only one. The only missing piece in my Jetsons future was a rocket belt, and now at long last I can have one, as long as I can squirrel away $250,000 (that's 18 Mac Pro Octos to you).

Technologia Aeroespacial Mexicana will not only sell you a jetpack, they'll train you to use it and feed you too. The website gives the rundown:

1. A fully-tested, custom-made flying rocket belt,

2. This belt has been proved to be the most stable design and easier to fly

3. A special machine to make our own unlimited supply of rocket fuel

4. Hands-on training in the process and the equipment

5. Flight training of 10 flights in your own rocket belt

6. Maintenance and setup training

7. 24/7 expert support

8. Housing and food are included during training

Amazing stuff indeed, although looking a little further into the site gets a little worrying:

Be aware of people that offer plans, parts or a rocket belt that has not flown and tested because you will be killed.

Not "could be killed" but "will be killed". This is just one of several oddities, although as this is a Mexican setup it could just be a simple matter of translation. I'll be holding off for a while. You can go first.
