X-Prize

Living in the air is quite difficult. People must be ready to be very cold, oxygen deprived, and tolerate bright sunlight.

To make progress, we need a millionaire to finance a LawOfTheAir "X-Prize."

The first person to live off Earth for two months would win.

The qualifications need some more defintion, of course.
  • do we require gray water recycling?
  • can the aeronaut land daily to get food and let out black water?
  • are there navigation requirements? Or just the need to stay aloft?
Thanks to T. Saraceno for brainstorming about this with me.
