Forget those 10,000 Homefront balloons dumped into the Bay (well, don’t forget it, necessarily)–here’s something really exciting, without all of the nasty environment havoc that comes with sticking a lot of rubber in a body of water. It’s Up!
The National Geographic Channel went all Mythbusters on this one, setting a 16 x 16 x 18 foot house afloat over the weekend, with the aid of 300 giant balloons.
The house floated up 10,000 feet, staying in the air for about an hour. The bit was filmed for the channel’s upcoming How Hard Can it Be program. Floating a real house, it turns out is pretty tough–the channel constructed an extremely basic house, sans-furniture for the show.
