That is why the staffs of National Geographic want to create the children dream to become reality! I don't know if someone can stay inside a house when it goes up for long time?
It is not easy to find the 300 helium-filled weather balloons...If we use normal balloons, it sure broken so easily. This is my review only. :P
National Geographic Channel have created a real-life version of the animated film Up — launching a house thousands of metres into the air using balloons.
A team of scientists, engineers, and two world-class balloon pilots successfully launched a 16' X 16' house 18' tall with 8' 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.
Using 300 helium-filled weather balloons, the lightweight building reached an altitude of more than 3000m and remained in the air for about an hour. From source "TheCoolhunter.net" - http://www.thecoolhunter.net/events
