Balloons underway

The Venerean zeppelin is [h/t Zim] on the way.

I didn't actually know that the French had tried it already, in the 1980s (on a Soviet rocket). It was a Bourbon technology in the first place, so... I should have guessed.

The French balloon lasted two days which record JPL is hoping to beat; since we have more knowledge (much from orbit), better materiel, and better rockets.
