Video: Behind-The-Scenes With The Martin Jetpack's 5,000' Flight

 Here's a really well done behind-the-scenes look at the extremely successful recent Martin Jetpack flight that went all the way to 5,000 feet, and the test of the ballistic recovery parachute system. If you've been sceptical about the potential of this compact VTOL, I think this video will soften you up a bit. Sure, they've still got a long way to go, but I think right now it's a lot more important to realize how far they've come.
