So, I researched this story.  I wanted to know the truth, or something close to it.  Is this jetpack thing an elaborate hoax?  I love the Weekly World News crazy stories, and sometimes I really want to believe them.  Did they actually report news this time?  The story got around and finally landed on the desk of some CNN reporters.  Here's a video of what they have to say.  Notice how they dig into the story, look at facts, do some math, and clear up a few things for us.  Hopefully.
