Up - Fun Facts

Have you ever wondered if helium filled balloons could take you up, up and away? Who hasn't, right? Well, it turns out that at least a couple of people have actually tried it.
A man now known as "Lawnchair Larry" took flight in 1982 on a lawn chair tied to 45 weather balloons. He soared to a height of about 3 miles, but when he landed he was arrested and had to pay a fine. More recently in 2007, Fox News reported about a man who wanted to fly on a balloon and lawn chair contraption from Oregon to Idaho. He didn't quite make it to Idaho, but he did fly 193 miles on his chair tied to 105 large helium-filled balloons.
