Default Jet Pack

Dumb idea but I have to give the kid credit, read all the seller questions, he hangs in quite well.

A: Last I heard, selling water was a multi million dollar industry."

OHHHH!!! Luke (the jet pack inventor) has an excellent comeback!

Seriously.

Think about the first guy that sold water. Imagine how much flak he got?

"You're selling me water? I can get that out of my tap"

"Yours has no taste? Of course not, it's water!"

It's not water.... It's dihydrous oxide. it's an essential part of your daily diet.

Oh, no, not dihydrous oxide! THAT stuff is deadly. People die from that every year. Look at all the damage dihydrous oxide did in New Orleans.


Be careful out there.

What about the guy who invented those air packs for shipping? He's selling air inside cheap plastic, same with the bubble wraps.

I don't know if I'd call it a dumb idea, it sounds like fun.

If I had spare money hanging around, I'd probably give it a go. Building stuff is a blast for me, so if I came up with a semi-plausable idea for something that might work and others might want, why not?

Plus it looks cool.

People thought populating a new land across the ocean was a dumb idea too

Just saying it sounds like it'd be a lot of fun to try to make even if it doesn't work.

Ok - He says he spent $50,000 on his parts. Yet he also said that he is having trouble buying formula for his baby girl. Priorities?
