The whole thing is ridiculously fake, either that or the guy's a complete nutjob who skipped a few decimal places when doing his calculations.

ROTFLMAO

I think it's a hoax too.

It a joke, and not a good one actually.

I vote for hoax. After all, this is posted on a sci-fi site. I think the apparatus described might nearly as likely launch him into the ground.

Pic looks a bit photoshopped, eh?

[Daynarr]

I doubt that would fly 2 feet in the air. I wouldn't buy it even if they said that it will fly 20 feet instead of 20 miles. 20 miles is ridiculous.

[Caduceus]

True, Daynarr, nothing flies twenty miles with a single push that small.

Well, the vehicle is a rocket with a "jet turbine with 1350 pounds of thrust", so presumably, after the initial thrust from the crossbow, the engine will take over and carry it the rest of the distance (if it actually works )
