this isn't inspired by the movie "Up." July 2, 1982 Larry Walters tied his lawn chair to balloons and carried an air pistol to shoot balloons to control the amount of lift. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Walters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Walters When he landed his quote to the press before his arrest was: "It was something I had to do. I had this dream for twenty years, and if I hadn't done it, I think I would have ended up in the funny farm." This is called Cluster Ballooning: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_ballooning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_ballooning Guinness Book of World Records even has a category. I told my Dad I wanted to do it and he almost grounded me right then and there.
