Could someone make a shell that holds a camera that fires it further off into the atmosphere as the hydrogen balloon bursts from pressure?
Sending the balloon into the upper atmosphere while having it tethered to a small launch pad or cylinder, and have it launch at the time the balloon
bursts to send it into orbit?
yes it can be done.
but you must understand when you have your head to the sky there will be those who want you to keep gathering the stones...we can all gather the
stones to build a platform to just jump into space. 6 billion people with 6 billion bricks perday can make a platform to space in less than a year.
I think to make it stay in orbit you gotta make it rotate around the earth at some considerable speed.
You idea is sound...I think but for enough fuel you'd need a very large balloon to carry all the weight.
