Post by Ron Schmit »

​The May monthly meeting reminded me of this...

Saw this from Langley several years back. A pretty cool concept for the exploration of Venus:

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.
