Life imitates art: Scientists move house with balloons

[Whiskey Tango]

Scientists, engineers and pilots in Southern California attached 300 helium filled balloons to a 16 x 16ft house and took to the skies.

The house soared to over 10,000ft before being gently lowered to the ground as part of an upcoming show on the National Geographic TV channel series How hard can it be?

This sounds like something the Mythbusters would do. Attach sails to it and travel the world!
