==Description==
Monday, January 9th, is Balloon Ascension Day! The hot air Balloon is the oldest known successful flight technology capable of carrying people. In Europe, manned Balloon flights had been floating into the skies since 1783. In the New World, however, it wasn't until a decade later that ballooning officially came to America. On January 9th, 1793 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a seasoned Balloon pilot, Jean Pierre Blanchard, climbed into his hydrogen filled balloon. He ascended into the skies, and into the history books, with the first manned Balloon flight in North America! On today's quest, we will take a look at this historic flight!<BR><BR>
Your reward for completing this quest will be 1,000 credits, and the Model Multicolored Hot Air Balloon!<BR><BR><BR>
