Subject: The Jetman - Yves Rossy
Description: Amazing video of man who flies with a jetpack on his back. Must be seen to be believed. (Video source: TED)
(Note: I am not 100% sure I gave this presentation in September. I found an old transcript that I used for this presentation, and the text has a date on it reading 9-1-2012. This would be logical if I gave the presentation around that date, and a date of 3-Sept or 10-Sept would be about right.)
