Hot air balloons have no forward propulsion or steering mechanism. The pilot only has control over the vertical travel of the aircraft. In order to achieve travel in any given direction, the pilot must find an altitude in which the wind is blowing the desired direction. There is a large amount of luck involved in navigating a hot air balloon.
Hot air balloons can be extremely difficult to launch and/or land, and doing so safely requires a large team of personnel.
