À propos de cet audio

Hot air balloons are subject to the wind – where the wind blows, so goes the balloon. Charles Ritchel upset that paradigm in 1878 by creating a lighter-than-air craft that could be steered. His craft was able to land exactly where it took off from. It worked - most of the time; but, when it didn’t, the pilot had to make hair-raising, in-air adjustments to survive.
