    Sorry but this is very clearly a fake. He spins around but never changes direction. Still a riot to watch though.

    you would need a rudder or wing of some kind to change direction, duh it IS rocket science! without one you spin out of control. i can see this acually werking, i once made a 2 litre popbottle travel .5 km in the air. just from air pressure.

    So many people say this is a fake, i still dont think so, i to trided the water bottle thingy mah bob, i wired together 5! trust me, i think it would work.

    He's airborn way to long but under the right circumstances it might work.
    Mythbusters (http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/mythbusters/m...) tested this in an episode.
    Not able to find the clip now but I'm sure it's out there on the Internet somewhere :)

    No you are incorrect my friend. You do not need a rudder to change direction. Just changing the direction the nozzles are pointing should be enough to change direction. Ever heard the term "thrust vectoring"? I am guessing you haven't

    It is just a game where this guy thinks that he is going through an experiment, he don't know that he is attached to a string. The funny thing is that he thinks everything was true. Don't try to find the fifth paw to the cat please.

    And what sort of string would be invisible and yet hold all that weight at the same time? I thought that all the strong rope would be at least semi-visible.
