Up and away!

I just saw the most exciting thing... you remember the PIXAR movie, UP? Where Carl meets Ellie, they spend the best days of their life together, Ellie passes away leaving poor Carl on his own and he pursues their dream of visiting Paradise Falls... in a house carried by hundreds and hundreds of balloons?

Remember?

The balloon-transported house from PIXAR's 2009 movie, UP.

Well... the awesome team at Pinterest sent me an e-mail this week telling me about a group of scientists, engineers and balloon pilots who re-created the iconic house from Pixar's UP. Setting a new world record for the largest balloon cluster (and the house flew for more than an hour)!

It is quite something to see... let me show you-

So just how difficult can it be to get a house to fly?

Quite tough... apparently...
