in the air
Can you believe that the history of the hot-air balloon
all began with a sheep, a duck and a chicken?
One day in 1777, Joseph Montgolfier was relaxing in front of the fire with
his laundry drying nearby. After a while, he noticed that one of his shirts had
started to float upwards. The young man was curious about what was
happening, so he threw some small pieces of paper into the fireplace to see
if the same thing happened to them. When he saw them coming out of the
chimney, he came to the conclusion that smoke had the power to lift things
up and carry them through the air. Joseph loved science and wanted to
become an inventor, so he started trying to think of a craft that would be able to
capture smoke and heat and lift people off the ground. Along with his brother,
Jacques, he began performing experiments on something that later became
the first hot-air balloon.
