Ky Michaelson, better known as "the Rocketman," stumbled upon a simple, yet profound truth early in his life: There is no item that can't be made infinitely better by strapping rockets to it. Indeed, Michaelson has made a career out of proving this fact over and over and over again. One of his latest creations, the aptly named Rocket Chair, is capable of launching you into the air for a full 45 seconds, thanks to a 500-pound thrust hydrogen peroxide rocket motor affixed to its rear and four stabilizing nozzles. The all-metal chair even features three wheels with independent suspensions -- for those rough landings, we would imagine.
Michaelson believes that in the future "there will be Rocket men racing rocket chairs and rocket belts just like the airplane races they have today." Good Lord, I hope he's right.
