You're implying that there wouldn't be transport and other logistical costs, it doesn't matter which way you go it isn't going to be free to go from place to place etc etc etc Instead of a toy/rc blimp, maybe it might be practical to make a full size one. You could have living quaters, internet connectivity and so on and so forth :) Maybe you could pick up a second hand one on the cheap :) _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
