| Do u remember this movie " UP"? Now, it becomes real. |
 |
| Balloonist Jonathan Trappe recently launched a house into the sky, powered by balloons, just like the character Carl Frederickson in the Disney movie 'Up.' |
 |
| Trappe flew above the Leon International Balloon festival in Mexico yesterday in his cartoon-inspired home |
 |
| He plans to make the 2,500 mile trip across the ocean in a seven-foot lifeboat carried by 365 huge helium balloons. The trip will cost $170,000. |
 |
| Trappe said of his profession: "I didn't wake up one day and think, 'I'm going to fly across the Atlantic.' Every attempt before this was geared towards this flight. I've been training for a long time. It's about living an interesting life, for me as the pilot and those watching. So, one day we can look back and say: 'Humankind were able to pull this off. They did it.'" |
