How to reach another planet using balloons.

[Colonel_Panic]

Step 1) make lots of balloons

Step 2) fill balloons with helium and sell them as cheap party favors.

Step 3) when extreme helium shortage bubble bursts, remind bureaucrats of scarcity on this planet and get them to actually do something about it now that it's too late.

Step 4) secure funding for space program to search for and mine helium from other planets.

Step 5) profit!
