    Today watching TechLinked on YT make me found something we all have been dreaming being implemented in real life, and no, its not created by Elon Musk.

    Apparently Rocketeer have been renamed as Jetman and are able to fly really high.

    Rokeeter = rockets. It use rockets.
    Jeeter = using jets.
    Yeeter = using the power of yeet. The manliest of them all.

    The naive one probably you!
    If you played red alert 2, you should know how powerful rocketeer can be when it is in plural form.

    But all those are water powered jet. And can't even fly like a real rocketeer. Most of them even have wire/cable/pipe or something else attached to them that limit them to being the real thing

    In 2050 we should've have yeeter ready

    Once upon a time, there was a guy who flew over the English Channel strapped to a jet engine. How come nobody talk about that manly dude? By the way, he lived and didn't fall into the sea. Or maybe he did fall into the sea because how else would a man strapped to a jet engine land otherwise?

    Why was it called the English Channel anyway? It's not like it broadcasts anything British other than D-Day. But that's probably an American op.
