As regular readers are aware, I am not entirely a fan of man's technological quest to overcome nature. However, I would be willing to reconsider this philosophical view if somebody would give me a jet pack. I have no statistics on this fact, but I suppose that every boy has had this dream.
In this morning's news, I see that Yves Rossy (here is the "Jet Man" website) will attempt to fly across the English Channel later today.
