A week later, Bell Aerosystems debuted a gas-powered rocket pack that could fly 35 meters in 13 seconds. Unfortunately, engineers knew this short flight was all the rocket pack could muster. So why was a massive spacecraft easier to send flying than a single pilot? Richard Browning investigates. [Directed by Mitch Hearn and Lisa Vertudaches, narrated by Bethany Cutmore-Scott, music by Cem Misirlioglu].\n
