On November 21, 1783, in Paris, France, two brothers, Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier, launched a balloon carrying two passengers: Pilâtre de Rozier and the Marquis d'Arlandes.

This historic event proved that humans could survive at high altitudes and paved the way for modern aviation.
