Sure, the 16 by 16 feet house is not a full house, but I don’t care. It flies for real, thanks to three hundred weather balloons full of helium. The Up! house—which will be part of a new National Geographic TV series called How Hard Can It Be?—reached 10,000 feet and flew for about one hour. [My Modern Met via Fotomaf via Necedades]
