World's First!

Yves Rossy just flew this device over the English Channel (video here). Although the video does not give us a close up view of his face I'm sure that he is wearing a look of cruel determination.

When they come out with one that deploys from a small backpack and allows you to fly halfway around the world at supersonic speeds I'll buy one. I have seen such technology in comic books so I am certain that it exists.
