We’ve all seen Up, right? If you don’t recognize the name, it’s that animated Disney film which sees an old guy and his young assistant go on an adventure in a flying house.

Unbelievably, a group of engineers have made the flying house from Up a reality.

OK, so it isn’t a real house made of solid materials with its foundations hanging off the bottom as in the film. But that was always unlikely and actually turns out to be nearly impossible.

However, this video does show a real-life lightweight house flying in the sky, projected upwards by massive balloons filled with helium.

I’m impressed, I really am. One question, however: how on Earth is this thing landed safely?
