National Geographic Channel have created a real-life version of the animated film Up — launching a house thousands of meters into the air using balloons.
A team of scientists, engineers, and two world-class balloon pilots successfully launched a 16’ X 16’ (≈5x5m) house 18’ (5.4m) tall with 8’ (2.4m) coloured weather balloons from a private airfield east of Los Angeles, and set a new world record for the largest balloon cluster flight ever attempted.
