Real Life Version of the UP House Attached to 300 Balloons Takes Flight
We couldn’t believe our eyes when we saw these wild images of a real-life version of the balloon-lofted house from the Pixar animated film UP on My Modern Met this morning. The house was launched from an air field east of LA by the National Geographic Channel to break the world record for the largest flight of balloons in a cluster. The amazing craft reached an altitude of 10,000 feet before gently returning to earth. Click past the break to see why and how they did it.
