Have you ever wondered if Disney/Pixar’s movie, “Up”, were possible (minus the talking dog, of course)? A group of scientists, balloon pilots, and engineers have made it a reality.
In about two weeks time, a wooden house 16 x 16 feet was built for flight. Once constructed, 300 helium-filled balloons were attached to the structure, and we have lift off!
For more photos, go to the National Geographic Channel’s website. For a more in depth look on the project, check out the series “How Hard Can It Be” on the National Geographic Channel this Fall.
