The future is here...

When people ask you what superpower you would love to have, flying is always pretty high on the list. Your dreams could become reality pretty soon if this video taken by the Smithsonian Magazine is anything to go by. The footage shows a man flying inside Washington D.C.'s Ronald Reagan Building with the help of a hydrogen and nitrogen-powered jet pack, the demonstration is part of the magazine's second annual The Future is Here Festival. It's a mix of Robert Downey Jr in Ironman and Sean Connery in Thunderball so it's pretty cool in our books to be fair. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpJ3DgjYB9Y YouTube credit: NTDTV.
