So you're telling me we are finally going to get both shiny silver vertical landing rockets (SpaceX) and jetpacks!?!?!

Big difference - shiny SpaceX rocket fails meh. Shiny jetpack fails dead person.

Some of the earlier attempts did have ballistic parachutes but you still had to deploy at least 75 feet high. Any lower and you're dead.
