UP, UP AND AWAY!


The fine people over at National Geographic have constructed a real life version of the house from the Disney movie UP.
Not only did they build it, but they made it fly!


From Gizmodo:
The 16 by 16 feet wooden house was hooked to 300 weather balloons full of helium, reaching together a total height of 10 stories. National Geographic has sent us raw footage from their new program How Hard Can It Be?—which premieres this fall—showing it taking off from a private Los Angeles air field. It reached more than 10,000 feet during its one hour flight.
