There is someone else I found that I may be able to contact. A sort of friend of mine has a brother who is an astronaut. I shall attempt to contact him, for maybe he will no some secret government plot to create a jetpack. Or maybe at the very least, he could provide some sort of insight into rockets, or jetpacks, or something in that sort of area.

Ok, so I think I have found someone I can contact for expert help. He's my old science teacher, and he's super knowledgeable in the area of rockets. So... let's hope he responds, and is able to assist me.

So, I have been trying to research my topic of jetpacks. Unfortunately there has not been a whole lot of stuff. Really all there is is a bunch of broad statements saying that rockets are move do to action reaction. So... Right now,  I'm thinking that the library may be the way to go. I think books can have some good specific things that I need. That or maybe find someway to narrow my search on the internet. So... Yeah.

So last night I read some stuff about jetpacks. Apparently, there was something in the 60's called the rocket belt. It used hydrogen Peroxide and silver to create a reaction or something. I'm not 100% clear on how it worked, but it provided some insight. The book also said that there wasn't much use for the jetpack. The army has no use for it, and the government doesn't want it to be a mode of transportation. Sure, drunk drivers are bad, but what about drunk people with a bunch of high- powered rockets strapped to their back? Not good. So, this has put a little bit of a damper on my hopes of commercializing the jetpack, but we'll see. I still want to fly, so I'll keep working for that.

So I finished Outliers. It was pretty interesting... for about 4 chapters, then it just seemed to repeat the same thing over and over. It felt kind of like beating a dead horse. That said, there were some thing that I learned, and that I found were interesting.

Yesterday, something happened to me that has refreshed my drive to create a jetpack. As I was walking home from the bus stop, I came across two squirrels chasing each other. One chased the other into the middle of the street, and then a car came and ran it over. Right in front of my eyes. This event struck me like thar car struck the squirrel.  I wish to put an end to the tyranny of cars over the helpless woodland animals. I think jetpacks wood help that. The only thing that we would have to look out for is flying squirrels, though I doubt that be too much of an issue. So... yeah. I now have a refreshed incentive to make the jetpack.

So I read this book Outliers, well a majority of the book and now I'm supposed to blog about it. Well one thing it said is that once someone has done 10000 hours of something, they are an expert at it. So I guess that means I'm an expert at TV. It also said that in order to be really successful, you need both skill AND  luck. I know I have skill, I just hope I'm lucky. I hope I'm lucky  enough to be lucky.
