There's even a jet-pack - if you've got $250 grand!

I liked the jet packs flying in formation with the jet fighters. Stunning. I noticed they weren't demonstrating that in the US.

I guess it was France - I think the pilot is French. I don't know if this kind of thing would fall afoul of the FAA.

The jet packs because of weight of fuel, are strictly short range, air launched.

Yes, per Gresham's law, bad money drives out good money ... same with investments ... ahem ... Tesla?

Some things get better, not everything. And things that get better, sometimes only get better marginally.

Physics isn't a limitation to politicians and marketing shills.
