The Premises of Sky Exploration | SLICE

In the 18th century - decades before the first planes were ever imagined, two brothers, Joseph and Etienne Montgolfier became quite the pioneers in the field of air travelling. Hydrogen and hot air balloons were the first machines in history that allowed man to take to the sky, achieving a dream as old as humanity.
