Sure, the 5 x 5 metre house is not a full house, but I don’t care. It flies for real, thanks to three hundred weather balloons full of helium. The Up! house—which will be part of a new National Geographic TV series called How Hard Can It Be?—reached 10,000 feet and flew for about one hour. [My Modern Met via Fotomaf via Necedades]

Monday, March 7, 2011 at 4:18 PMOf all the possible uses of a finite resource, we use our helium to float fake houses. Huh.
Don’t get me wrong, Up! was an awesome movie…. but I guess no one has informed these good folks that we only have about 30 years worth of helium left on the planet.
