there's a lot of interest in making the space balloon (or floating island) project
but i feel a little unsure of it for some reason ... i think i'm worried that the challenge and danger of going into upper altitudes make an issue with my dissociative-identity-palsy where my body will suddenly spasm and try to make horrible decisions for periods of time. this could both make dangerous issues at upper altitudes, as well as make it hard to keep myself physically near the infrastructure needed for a large balloon project long enough to make strides on it.
like, i might make a partial balloon near one living location, and then suddenly move away. meanwhile, it's not very impressive to have a super tiny balloon project. i can't go up in it, or send anybody up in it, and or take it upward. [now,
i might be interested in continuing more strongly if i could find a way to take the project with me when i travel. if it's a structure up in the air, this might be easier, as it's up in the sky (tethered to a cloud) rather than on my person. but it could take a while before cloud-tethers get involved, so maybe a way to kind of roll it up? how much material really is this? could i compress a rideable hotair balloon to fit in my pocket or a small pack? {seems potentially hard
