how hard can it be, people?

have you seen this beautiful movie titled "UP"?
this movie tells us about an adventure of an old man with a little boy (who is quite annoying haha)  in a flying house. i mean like, literally flying, with lots of balloons on top of it. so, with this flying house, they have a totally unforgettable adventure. so, maybe, we all think when we watch this is: "ah this movie is so good" "great story" "gosh, can i bring russel home?" etc.

well, but not for these people at national geographic. when they all watch the movie and see the flying house, they all think this:
"how hard can it be to make a flying house? it is ALMOST possible"
so....... they (folks from national geographic) tried to make a REAL flying house.


and they SUCCEED. can you believe it? a flying house with BALLOONS. balloons. wow, just simply wow.
so... lets see how it goes.

so this one is the animated flying house from the movie
and this one... is the real flying house that people from national geographic made....
so this house was launched a few weeks ago, on March 5 to be exact. this flying house set a new world record for the largest balloon cluster flight ever attempted. The entire experimental aircraft was more than 10 stories high, reached an altitude of over 10,000 feet, and flew for approximately one hour.

and dont worry, this house is safely landed ;)
you can watch how they made the house here
