The 'Up' House, Lifted by Balloons

This flying yellow house was floating by a huddle of 300 balloons (each balloon was 8 feet tall and each used a whole tank of helium). It woked, and how! Astonishingly, the yellow house fruitfully rocketed over the California desert at an altitude of 10,000 feet for about an hour!
