    I don’t wanna defend the guy but he did say floating colony, the atmosphere about 1 km up from the surface sits at earthlike temperatures and pressures-- astronauts would only need a breathing mask and some light skin protection as opposed to a pressure suit which is a major advantage.

      May be a silly question, but how would you go about making a floating colony? I dont think we have the tech to keep a city perpetually floating.
