Today, in Oshkosh Wisconsin, the future is being unveiled. We'll be bringing you live updates throughout the day, but first up is an exclusive interview with 16 year old Harrison Martin--pilot of the most promising jetpack yet unveiled--and footage of the pack in action. Yeah, it sounds like a vacuum, but it's a friggin jetpack!
Check back throughout the day for more comprehensive coverage, and be sure to thumb through staff photographer John B. Carnett's slideshow from Oshkosh, here. Onwards and upwards!
