Remember the flying machines from the James Bond 007 movies? Did you lose a bit of sleep fantasizing over that one? Well fantasize no more - check out the Rocket Belt which can make your [personal flight machine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leo-solo) dreams a reality. All for the reasonable price of $250,000. I said 'reasonable'... I didn't say affordable. But when you think about it, it's really not that steep a price considering that you could actually [take flight](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valo-evtol). Oh yeah and this sweet little machine runs on... you got it! Rocket fuel! Don't forget that the price tag also includes one-on-one flight training, customization of your unit, and housing and food during training (until you've made 10 successful flights).
