We've spent a good chunk of our lives waiting for the arrival of personal jetpacks, which nearly every futurist since the 1950s has predicted we'd get.

Here's the latest attempt at fulfilling that collective prophecy: Martin Jetpack is putting 500 jetpacks into production, and you can be the first one on your block to have one (if your block happens to be filled with mansions). For $75,000, you can have one of the fabled, flying machines, which will propel you up to 60 mph with a range of 30 miles.

You won't need a pilot's license to fly this recreational item -- at least until the FAA develops regulations so that we aren't constantly crashing into each other because we're texting while flying.

Just keep in mind that no matter how safe Martin claims its jetpack is, you still have a giant gasoline-filled container strapped to your ass. Also, you'll have to weigh under 240 lbs.

Kevin Smith, this is a cue for you to start complaining.
