    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

          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!
