    Yeah, not sure if “floating colony” means orbital but if he means somehow in atmosphere those people are gonna have a bad time with the 900F degree temps and the 100 atmospheres of pressure

      The article says that the proposed colony will be floating in the atmosphere 30 miles up, where temperature and pressure is a lot less.

      But the guy still thinks carbon fibre pressure vessels are a good idea. Yikes.

      Definitely not in it, but close enough that you can run lines down to it. The gasses are going to be a lifeline in many ways. The heat alone is useful if put to work.
