New ion-powered jetpack patented

There’s no shortage of people who’ll build you a jetpack, but they’re noisy, dangerous, and far from ecologically friendly. All that could be set to change, however, if the new design just patented for a remotely-powered ion-propelled jetpack makes it to the production line. Yeah, I’m a little skeptical, too … but apparently the patent has overwritten the ones NASA already had in the field, so there must be something to it. If PFS need beta-testers at any point, I hope they know who to email …
