An anonymous reader writes: The good news is that soon, you'll finally be able to buy that jetpack you've always wanted. The bad news is that it'll run you about $150,000. The Martin Jetpack will use fans, rather than rockets, to lift humans weighing up to 120kg (~256 lbs).

The jetpack will be sold commercially to emergency services next year, and then a smaller, personal version will hit the market in 2017.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
