Re: look out below
but I'm quite sure the tons of equipment on it will come down on someone's house or apartment intact unlike a satellite which will burn upon reentery.

| Because I'm sure they just let it randomly crash to ground and don't have any plans set up for guiding it to some sort of empty area. Scientists and engineers are such idiots, sending up this blimp with no plans and just hoping and hoping it doesn't just drift away or crash. |

You may actually have some valid points there...blimps aren't exactly the most "air-worthy" vessels(?). Wouldn't 13 miles up be near the jet stream? I don't think blimps handle turbulence well.
Also, what happens when one of these things has to land to refuel? They'd have to have a back-up blimp (lol) ready to go.

If it weren't for scientists and engineers you wouldn't have a computer, internet, etc... to write such a silly thing. |
