Review # 1 was written on 2018-05-16 00:00:00 Jacquelyn P Bayne it took me multiple tries over multiple years to finally finish this thing. so many starts and stops. while it has its engrossing moments, in the end it's too much mac montadon personal history, as told all esquire-esque longform journalism, and superfluous details about oddball hangers-on. but it's not nearly enough text or information about the science or future possibilities of the jetpack, or the space age in general. i really expected more from this, but since it was a dollar tree find and has been sitting on my shelf for over 5 years, it's not nearly the money-suck it could have been. and the steve agnew/yakima connection was fun, if brief. read it if you're a jetpack dreamer or midcentury futurism aficionado, but dont' expect anything earth shattering (or sound barrier breaking, or space-time reconfiguring, or...) |
Review # 2 was written on 2008-10-29 00:00:00 Ravin HURLOLL Pretty fun little book following the author's search for jetpacks (rocket belts, mostly.) Their history, their science, why they won't really work for general use. Mostly, though, this is a celebration of the wacky people who are attracted to jetpacks, their different approaches to building them, and their successes and failures. |
