DrSleepless, (edited ) Almost 50 years later and they still aren’t widely used
philycheezestake, Well it’s not exactly like riding a bike.
PugJesus, 
It's almost rocket science.
AnUnusualRelic, 
Their whooping 3 minutes of autonomy doesn’t help much.

LongbottomLeaf, That gap though.
Thcdenton, Oh my god 😩
Wrench, The strong center of gravity on that pilot helps stability like ballast.
Jumuta, obese rocket fallacy
TragicNotCute, 
The mustache was definitely helping.
PugJesus, Generates lift
foofiepie, I thought that was a face shield of some kind.
RubberElectrons, 
Is it a mustache? It looks like a shield for sure… But then why’s his nose out?
ForestOrca, 
Mouth breathing, nose hanger? Some peoples respiratory pathway doesn't include the nose. shrug
prettybunnys, I’m betting it is a communication device so he can speak to the safety crew / engineers
PugJesus, I thought he had a mustache under the face shield, but it might be a reflection rather than transparency.
RizzRustbolt, No guy is going to have a belly like that and then not have a mustache.
SatansMaggotyCumFart, He ate beans to help with the propulsion.
PowerGloveSoBad, Spent my whole life in VA – can confirm this is us
