Men first went up into the air in balloons. These are big bags, and they are filled with gas. Hydrogen is a useful gas for balloons. It is lighter than air. Helium is also lighter than air, but it costs a lot of money. So balloons were (and are) usually filled with hydrogen.Balloons have to fly with the wind as they have no engines to drive them against it. Later, men made airships. These were balloons with engines, but they were not round. They were long, and the engineswere at the back. They were also filled with hydrogen and some of them caught fire because the hydrogen escaped and the engines heated it. Then the airship was completely burnt in a few seconds.⏹True or false. （判断对错，对的涂A，错的涂B，即A. True B. False）41.Humans cannot fly because their bodies are too heavy.
