Very cool. Would have to be a very special material to last in venus atmosphere. Maybe Elon can build some satellites to put over there?

Actually, that's the whole idea... You stay ABOVE those nasty clouds, and it would be down right pleasant! Nothing exotic necessary.

That would be so cool! I wonder how long the round trip would take.
