The future is here.

A flying man coasts through the atrium of the Ronald Reagan Building.

He's using a hydrogen and nitrogen-powered jetpack.

Smithsonian Magaine sponsored the event, which is part of a three day festival celebrating the future. They say that a federal clearance was required to fly the jetpack, just blocks from the White House.

It's powered by a non-flammable and non-explosive mix of hydrogen peroxide and nitrogen that produce high-temperature and high pressure steam.

No word on what the price tag on something like that might be...
