How to launch a “research balloon”.

Date:

The subject that natural scientist and author Christian Mähr deals with this time really takes place between heaven and earth: it is about the balloon – especially the one from China.

The balloon has a long history. The first balloonists wore trousers and wigs. In June 1783, the Montgolfier brothers took to the air in a hot air balloon, making them immortal. The technically interested King Louis XVI. ordered them to Paris, where on September 19, 1783 in Paris in front of the French court, a sheep, a duck and a rooster took off in a beautifully decorated balloon and landed safely. The first person to fly it was Jean Francois Pilatre de Rozier. Top height: 26 meters. To do this, he had to get on his knees to ask permission from the king, who planned three convicted criminals for the first manned aviation.
