now, back to the trailer. for once it would be nice for you to provide some data, studies, instances or the like instead of customarily laying a dark cloud over other ppls attempts.
This isn't my fight,and you can find my photo when you GOOGLE 'stubborn',so I know about following gut instinct and intuition,however,after reading your post from a position of 35-yrs 'observation',I suspect that your expectations will be dashed,soon after testing your creation.
There simply exists no empirical evidence,from 100-years of research that would suggest that your plan had any possibility of working.
I would highly recommend that you conduct model tests before commiting any serious money to full-scale development.
At 26-quadrillion tons,the atmosphere is a formidable foe.You want to tread carefully with your art of war.
