Did you spot the Saturn V? (xkcd, 19 September)
What if one takes a 100' dia. X 1000'high aluminum balloon
(small compared to mid sized skyscrapers) and filled it with H2, at sea level pressure. It would have XX #'s of bouyancy thrust, then as the H2 expanded bleed the gas to attached ramjets, how high and fast will it go? We (NASA and I) used a 1" thick skin. Ken PS:I have a bunch of grooves on my record cuz it skips. Joseph Nebus wrote: ``So why did we build this?
