[FunOnTheNet] UP (REEL AND REAL LIFE)

 








Inspired by the Pixar film Up, a house is lifted into the air using a cluster of balloons

At dawn on Saturday 5 March, National Geographic Channel and a team of scientists, engineers and two world class balloon pilots successfully launched a house measuring six feet by six feet and 18 feet high, using 300 eight-foot coloured weather balloons from a private airfield east of Los Angeles. The launch set a new world record for the largest balloon cluster flight ever attempted.  The house and balloons measured more than 10 storeys high and reached an altitude of over 10,000 feet, flying for approximately one hour.  The record will be part of a new National Geographic Channel series called How Hard Can It Be? which will premiere in autumn 2012.
