The text appears to be a script from a video where the narrator talks about creating a pair of "Moon Shoes" from his childhood fantasy, with the intention of jumping higher than normal. He starts by recalling his childhood desire for these shoes and how his mother wouldn't buy them for him. He then discusses his current project, which involves creating high-pressure pneumatic pistons to power the jump. These pistons are connected to a pair of motocross boots via elevator bolts and special brake lines.
The narrator then tests the shoes using a dummy named Billy, and the shoes jump about a foot off the ground, which he considers a success. However, he notes that the shoes are heavy and the timing of the jumps is difficult to get right. Despite this, he is determined to improve and practice using the shoes.
In the later part of the script, the narrator discusses how the shoes could be used for self-defense and even dunking a basketball. He also mentions the official MythBusters merchandise store and the use of a shopping tool called Honey, which automatically searches for the best deals and discounts on the sites the user shops on.
The script ends with a call to action for viewers to check out the official MythBusters merchandise store and use the promo code Honey10 to save an additional 10% on their purchase.
