The Video of the Real Life Up! House Flying Away

You already saw the photos of the real life Up! house, but here's the video. It truly looks amazing and unreal. A strangely magical moment.

The 16 by 16 feet wooden house was hooked to 300 weather balloons full of helium, reaching together a total height of 10 stories. National Geographic has sent us raw footage from their new program How Hard Can It Be?-which premieres this fall-showing it taking off from a private Los Angeles air field. It reached more than 10,000 feet during its one hour flight.
