It was a hydrogen peroxide propellant, they've had those since WW2. Same juice as torpedoes. So it's nothing new in 1971. It's just not a practical thing to use. The fuel lasts about 30 seconds and that was that.

If you watch old movies and TV series you'd have seen jet packs used.

One example: The fourth James Bond film by Eon Productions, Thunderball saw the return and last directing gig of Terence Young in the series, and starred Sean Connery. It came out on December 29, 1965 in the UK.
