    Cool Good luck Jet Man!

    Fingers crossed for good weather over the English Channel today, as Jet Man makes his attempt to cross the water powered only by a jet pack. If you've seen any of the footage I'm sure you'll agree it looks awesome and that if you're honest you'd love a go!

    It's live on National Geographic at midday (UK time) and available to watch on their website:

    190kph in a jetpack! The guy's already a legend!

    Dave, has the flight been delayed? Nat Geo site is a bit confusing re times. It says Fri 8P et/pt and Sat 4P. Can you check and let me know CET maybe, and I can work it out from there.

    Thanks for reminded me. I've used Sky's lovely Anytime service on my phone and set it to record

    Good luck I doubt he'll be reading our forums but I thought I'd wish him luck anyway
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    Yeah saw the jet man photo in the newspaper the other day...good luck!

    Few months ago read about a French guy who was planning to drop down from a hot air balloon way up (40,000 feet or something, can't remember) for the highest free-fall record but haven't read any news on it after that...That one is the real crazy one!

    Bit windy for him, is it blowing in the right direction to help or hinder?

    Cool. Maybe i'm weird but it's good to see someone doing something genuinely dangerous and getting coverage rather than someone doing a David Blane.
