The House From Up! Has Been Built In Real Life—and It Flies!

The House From Up! Has Been Built In Real Life—and It Flies!

This is really nuts. The people from National Geographic have built a house inspired by the Pixar’s movie Up! Yes, a house tied to gas balloons that actually flies. I’m so giddy I can’t barely type.


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]
