- NASA is just a waist of tax dollars.
  If they gave the money to guy's like this we would be MUCH better off & more advanced.

Rocket Man
This is a new flight test. The Red wing Rossy flew a couple of years ago had 2 Rockets and a top speed of 125 MPH. The new Black wing has 4 rockets and a top speed of 186 MPH. During the flight he was able to fly figure 8 patterns and gain 2500 feet in altitude. If you search "Rocket Man" you can find video of the entire flight. It lasted about 6 minutes. His next goal is to fly across the English Channel. The wings range is only limited by the fuel supply.

"rocket power"
They were four very small jet turbine engines (the same kind used in radio controled jet airplanes) started during his initial glide. This was on CNN (or one of the other news networks) a couple of years ago.

what felt the people that saw the Wright brothers for the first time.

I just hope I can try one of these during my lifetime

Awesome!!
Does he have enough rocket propulsion to go far or can he only go at gliding distances with a bit of a speed boost?

He isn't
There are videos dating back a couple of years that show him doing this. Im surprised it has taken so long for this to become reported. He used to fly a pair of red wings, but it has only just become widely known. Still, well done.
