Ingenuity has spent more than two hours flying above Mars since April 2021.

    A blimp doesn’t seem super feasible on Mars due to the low air pressure

      But what about a Jovian blimp?

        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!

      Mars, no. But Venus… That would work great.
