While the Rocket Belt never turned our armed forces into valley leaping juggernauts, it continued to capture the hearts of the public. In 1984, Suitor piloted a version of the Rocket Belt during the opening ceremonies of the Los Angeles Olympics. Jetpack type devices became a popular attraction at auto rallies, aviation shows and other high energy gatherings. Inventors and hobbyists continued the work that Moore began at Bell Aerospace, creating their own variations of the hydrogen peroxide powered pack, including a later model Jetbelt built by Juan Manuel Lozano Gallegos for his company Tecnologia Aeroespacial Mexicana ( TAM ). You can currently get one of the TAM Jetbelts built to your own custom specifications and it comes with a device that helps you make your own rocket grade 90 percent hydrogen peroxide fuel mix. Its considerably lighter than Moores version, using modern materials like carbon fiber and composites to accommodate slightly larger tanks for extending flight times up to 35 seconds. The TAM Jetbelt may set you back a modest $95,000, but thats still cheaper than a fully loaded Tesla Model S and once you're cruising through the air at $2,700-per second on that first flight, money will probably be the last thing on your mind.
