Up, Up and Away
How far up did you want to go, Horace?
Has Horace ever encountered a third button, for across?
Nice! I always wanted to take a ride in a balloon…
Next stop, the Emerald City.
I wonder which was invented first, the elevator or the hot air balloon?
OK. Interweb research
First known Elevator: Archimedes, 236 B.C.First safety Elevator: Elisha Otis, 1852. (with brakes, so if the cable failed, the car would stop).First untethered hot air balloon flight: Montgolfier brothers, 1783.
That would be awesome!!
The Great Gas Elevator.
Does someone have to push the ‘down’ button for the balloon to return to the ground?
