Le 15 juin 1785, Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Pil\u00e2tre de Rozier (n\u00e9 \u00e0 Metz le 30 mars 1754) se tue \u00e0 bord de son a\u00e9ro montgolfi\u00e8re, baptis\u00e9e rozi\u00e8re. Apr\u00e8s avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 l\u2019exceptionnel pilote d\u2019essai de ballons captifs et d\u2019avoir r\u00e9ussi avec le Marquis d\u2019Arlandes \u00e0 conqu\u00e9rir les airs le 21 novembre 1783, \u00e9tablissant les trois premiers records du monde de distance, de gain d\u2019altitude et de dur\u00e9e, le jeune physicien chute. Il est accompagn\u00e9 de son copilote Pierre-Ange Romain.<\/h6>\n
\"\"Son projet fou promis au roi Louis XVI est de \u00ab\u00a0conqu\u00e9rir\u00a0\u00bb l\u2019Angleterre, dans le sens France-Angleterre, \u00e0 bord d\u2019un engin de sa conception, sp\u00e9cialement fabriqu\u00e9 pour l\u2019occasion. Il s\u2019agit d\u2019un ballon en deux parties : montgolfi\u00e8re et ballon \u00e0 gaz empli d\u2019hydrog\u00e8ne.
\nCela fait plusieurs mois qu\u2019il pr\u00e9pare cette aventure, tandis qu\u2019un autre fran\u00e7ais Jean-Pierre Blanchard lui ravit l\u2019exploit en r\u00e9ussissant cette travers\u00e9e plus facile dans le sens Angleterre – France avec un ballon \u00e0 gaz.
\nApr\u00e8s de nombreuses tentatives sur plusieurs mois, le ballon baptis\u00e9 \u201cTour de Calais\u201d s\u2019\u00e9l\u00e8ve au petit matin du 15 juin 1785. La nuit a \u00e9t\u00e9 longue pour tout pr\u00e9parer. Le ballon est tr\u00e8s ab\u00eem\u00e9 par plusieurs mois de stockage, mais qu\u2019importe, les \u00e9missaires du Roi ont \u00e9t\u00e9 clairs : il faut traverser.<\/h6>\n
Apr\u00e8s quelques minutes, alors qu\u2019il a d\u00e9j\u00e0 abord\u00e9 la mer, la partie ballon \u00e0 gaz laisse filer l\u2019hydrog\u00e8ne qui s\u2019enflamme. A peine une demi heure en l\u2019air et le ballon est projet\u00e9 \u00e0 terre entre Boulogne-sur-Mer et Wimille. C\u2019est la catastrophe.
\nAinsi s\u2019ach\u00e8ve la vie du pionnier des airs, physicien, chimiste, cr\u00e9ateur du Mus\u00e9e de Monsieur.<\/h6>\n
Un Te Deum sera donn\u00e9 quelques semaines plus tard \u00e0 Paris en son honneur.
\nLa grande histoire de l\u2019aviation vient de perdre son pionnier.<\/h6>\n

\ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7\u00a0\u00a0– 245 years ago the death of\u00a0 Pil\u00e2tre de Rozier<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/h6>\n
On June 15, 1785, Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Pil\u00e2tre de Rozier (born in Metz on March 30, 1754) killed himself aboard a new kind of balloon of his invention called \u00ab\u00a0rozi\u00e8re\u00a0\u00bb after its designer.
\nAfter having been the exceptional test pilot of tethered balloons and having succeeded with the Marquis d’Arlandes in conquering the air on 21 November 1783, setting the first three world records for distance, altitude gain and duration, the young physicist fell. He was accompanied by his co-pilot Pierre-Ange Romain.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/h6>\n
His crazy project promised to King Louis XVI was to \u00ab\u00a0conquer\u00a0\u00bb by air England, in the France-England direction, aboard a craft of his own design, specially built for the occasion. It is a balloon in two parts: a hot-air balloon and a gas balloon filled with hydrogen.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/h6>\n
He has been preparing for this adventure for several months, while another Frenchman, Jean-Pierre Blanchard, has delighted him by making this easier crossing from England to France with a gas balloon.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/h6>\n
\"\"After many attempts over several months, the balloon named \u00ab\u00a0Tour de Calais\u00a0\u00bb rose in the early morning of June 15, 1785. It was a long night to set up everything. The balloon has been very damaged by several months of storage, but no matter, the King’s emissaries were clear: they must cross the Channel.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/h6>\n
After a few minutes, when it had already approached the sea, the gas balloon part let the hydrogen escape and ignite. Barely half an hour in the air and the balloon was thrown on land between Boulogne-sur-Mer and Wimille.<\/span><\/span><\/em> It’s a catastrophe. <\/span><\/span><\/em><\/h6>\n
Thus ends the life of The pioneer of the air, physicist, chemist, creator of the \u00ab\u00a0Mus\u00e9e de Monsieur\u00a0\u00bb.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/h6>\n
A Te Deum will be given a few weeks later in Paris in his honour.
