RE: Cloud City
But, some of the car and house sized asteroids have not been detected before they breached the atmosphere.
There is a show on Netflix called "Altered Carbon" that had floating houses. But, I think they mostly uses a system that would keep them hovering.
what are the odds that you'd be directly in the path of re entry?
win some...loose some.
Altered Carbon is a dystropia....I don't do those.
partly cause they're intended to be depressing but mostly because they're
STUPID
(I get enough stupid just scanning the internet...not to mention if I were to actually watch the enemedia..)
and all wrong..
but I digress
that actually WOULD be altered carbon. Allatropes of carbon (graphene) altered (machined and molded) into specific shapes...full of vacumn...lighter than air..stronger than steel...able to leap tall buildings...or
water is 1000 times more dense than air at sea level...(heavier too)
stick the 'bulb' in the water...use it to provide the ballast...(adjust the height above the surface)..
OR...
different design.
that type of 'altered carbon' is possible now (been done)...just very expensive..
I can't hardly wait until it's cheap.
As soon as we are Crypto-Pimp Rich, my friend.
