Bummer. But this thing has been so inspiring. Can't wait for the next Mars copter.
Between that or blimps on Mars and other planets, it's almost a given to have something with any new exploration. Just like rovers are so much better than a fixed location for a one-shot deal.
A blimp doesn't seem super feasible on Mars due to the low air pressure
But what about a Jovian blimp?
Based on the gradient of pressures from the "surface" to the core, it's entirely feasible. I've read about ideas for blimp colonies on Jupiter as well as Venus!
Mars, no. But Venus... That would work great.
