The blimp’s for the canaille. They don’t have any balloon-busters, they just have IEDs and a narcoterror budget. The Blue Devil is what military aeronautics looks like when you’ve got absolute command of the sky.

Now,if you could build a really big Blue Devil, like a Fuller-Sphere geodesic version, and anchor it to the earth with carbon-fiber cables, and then install facial-recognition on the bottom and ultra-luxury malls inside? You’d have the kind of city implied by our financial situation. Rich guys in hemi-demi orbit, narco favelas on the ground.
