Join us as we explore the history of hot-air balloons. The first human flight was a full 120 years before the Wright Brothers took to the skies. We look at the competition between hot-air balloons and airships, especially in the aftermath of the Hindenburg disaster.
Then obviously the science bit of how hot air balloons actually get off the ground!
