    Well when you put it like that, they also forget that it is Vader who kills the Emperor not Luke. Making the inside play for power even more evident.

    Well, Vader did loose his life to kill the Emperor. Was it all part of his plan to install Luke as the new head of state?

    They are Martin Jetpack from New Zealand and they've just got their funding together!

    The engine is a 200hp 2 liter benzine fueled V4. It allows flight up to and over 1km height and 74km/h or 20m/s. It also includes a parachute for emergencies.

    [​IMG]

    Empty weight is 200kg and it can carry 120kg which is plenty.

    The device will cost roughly 200 000 USD and will be commercially available in 2016, it will first be targeted for emergency rescue services but it will also become publicly available.

    Also, unlike earlier jetpack designs this wasn't equipped with highly inefficient jet engines but rather with propellers. The basic design is of course still somewhat inefficient as all hovering craft, but it's a lot better than with jet engines and the noise is considerably more manageable from what I could tell from the video as opposed to the high pitch shrieking from the previous 50 year old design.

    I like when that happens. Something is 30 meters wide, then next it's suddenly 30 feet. Now, it's actually 10 meters, because it was 30 feet. And again, 10 meters is - oops - 10 feet. etc.

    It works the other way too, depending on which direction adds to better story.

    How a sunset might look like to a human observer if our Sun was replaced by some of the other stars in our galaxy with different sizes and magnitudes:

    Though viewing many of these, even assuming suddenly earth were somehow positioned appropriately to do so, would probably end in either sudden boiling or freezing or death by various new radiation types we're not accustomed to. Assuming the trip itself didn't kill us.
