Defying God's wishes, it turns out, isn't an easy task. The world's best jetpack pilot, Bill Suitor, likened flying the contraption to "standing on a beach ball bobbing in the middle of a swimming pool." But Suitor mastered the technique, and during the opening ceremonies of the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, he cemented his place atop jetpack history: "He swooped out over the field, half-bird...
