The Future that Never Happened : Jetpack

(beeps)

(sirens)

[Flight Control] This is flight control, give me a go,

no go for launch.

Zero, seven, zero...

[Will] Let's go through the sequence one more time.

Romeo.

[Flight Control] Romeo.

[Will] Sierra.

[Flight Control] Sierra.

[Will] Alfa.

[Flight Control] Alfa.

[Will] Delta.

[Flight Control] Delta.

[Will] American.

[Flight Control] American.

[Will] Pan Am.

[Flight Control] Uh sir, Pan Am went out of business.

Why didn't you tell me before I go up?

That's why we have meetings.

Okay?

[Flight Control] Sorry about that sir.

[Will] Has anyone seen Barbara?

(engine blasts)

Nevermind.

(engine revs)

And I'm up.

My pitch and yaw seem to be working well.

Thrust festering feels good.

I think I'm gonna adjust the imodium titroxide mixture.

Straps are really hurting my butt.

We'll have to look at it when I land.

[Flight Control] Gyro is malfunctioning.

People down there look like ants.

[Flight Control] Is this guy 12?

Wait.

No, hold on, maybe those are ants.

I'm not sure.

[Flight Control] Copy.

Affirmative, those are ants.

[Flight Control] Copy that.

If you squint your eyes they look like people.

Prices in the log is buffeting.

Impressibility needs to be analyzed.

Feeling a little unstable right now.

I'm at about 10,000 feet.

I seem to be going into a high speed stall.

A lot of pulsating going on.

Very, very shaky.

Bundle up, stall out to control.

I don't think this is going to go over too well

with the public.

(static)

I'm gonna go ahead and set it down.

(engine revs)

(beeps)

And, we're down.

We are firm.

(beeps)

(whimsical piano music)
