In real life, the world-record-setting cluster required to accomplish this was (amazingly) even smaller than the movie’s makers imagined. As part of a new National Geographic series titled “How Hard Can it Be? “, a real-life replica home was created in the flat deserts of California and released into the air – it went aloft eerily like the fictional version, and stayed up for over an hour. Each eight-foot-diameter balloon required one whole tank of helium to inflate, while a team of volunteers took days constructing the simple A-frame-house replica that would take the test flight.

A team of hot air balloon pilots and engineers made sure it would work in theory, but no would could be certain how it would pan out in practice – the photos and videos, though, show an incredible success.
