Truly amazing! No matter how old you get, there's a little kid inside all of us. The National Geographic Channel (DStv 260) has launched (in really a spectacular way) the largest balloon cluster ever flown by lifting up a little house with 300 helium-filled balloons just like in the animation movie, Up!.
The balloon launch was done this past weekend and of course filmed for The National Geographic Channel's new upcoming series, How Hard Can it Be? A team of scientists, engineers and two world-class balloon pilots successfully launched a little house with 300 coloured weather ballons from a private airfield east of Los Angeles this past Saturday.
With the amazing balloon house they've managed to set a new world record for the largest balloon cluster flight ever attempted. The ''experimental aircraft'' was more than 10 stories high and reached an altitude of 10 000 feet and flew for approximately one hour.
