World's 1st Balloon Ride with a duck, sheep & rooster.

With the Albuquerque Balloon Festival just around the corner it's time for hot air. But this is actually true... today in history Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI watched the first manned hot air balloon ascent. In it were a group of unlikely characters: the Montgolfier brothers, a sheep, a rooster and a duck. Now that's a great day of recess!
