This is a cutesy new idea, similar to the skywriting fad that comes and goes every few years… a LTA soap-skinned balloon product that lingers in the atmosphere, hopefully within persuasive view of people on the ground and not acting as flight path obstructions, that eventually degrade and– poof!– are gone.
