Jonathan Trappe is the first person to cross the English Channel using only helium balloons as transport!
He has now launched a public campaign to raise funds to enable him to cross the entire Atlantic Ocean on his custom made, flying, balloon machine.
For this flight, Jonathan needs special helium balls that are resistant to UV and this comes at an incredible cost of $300 000.
