Sorry I haven't been online for a while...

Regarding this thread ...the sub orbital tower one...and dirgibles...

Tie them all together. (which is what i was considering )

How expensive would it be to manufacture nitrogen bricks at the top of a
suborbital tower....and deliver them "overhead" to their point of use via
stratospheric dirgibles....dropping them via parachute....

Just a thought.
