There are no actual rockets in the Rocket Boots. Rather, the power comes from pistons that are filled with a fuel-air mixture, and fired by compression when the user puts his or her full body weight down into the boot.

Apr 30, 2014 · NASA built rocket boots in the 1960s, says Amy Shira Teitel for the blog Vintage Space and as far back as 30 years ago people were buzzing around on jetpacks. They're just weren't doing it on...
