My off-the-top-of-my-head guess is that scaling that up to industrial payload capacity would require a balloon the size of Rhoade Island (give or take).

can we release one of those the next time nebraska scores at home?

That's a pretty innovative idea.

I'm curios on the feasibility of scaling it up to industrial payload capacity.

FWIW Musk's input.

Wouldn't have expected Luxembourg to have the largest space budget per capita in the world and is a leading country for space mining.

According to this survey 61% of Americans wouldn't go to the moon if money were no object.  I guess I'm in the minority.

I don't think I would go, at least not without some mission to accomplish. Just going up there and experiencing lower gravity would be interesting, but the risks involved outweigh my curiosity. 

One hundred years from now, sure I'd go. The advancements in vehicles and safety will be enough that it wouldn't be much different than flying around the planet.
