[quote]The Bullet 580 ship, measuring 235 feet long and 65 feet in diameter, is made of a thin type of Kevlar and will be able to fly at 20,000 feet, according to its manufacturer, E-Green Technologies. It will eventually carry a NASA payload that will study moisture content in soil.

It took six hours to inflate it, but the video is condensed to about two minutes.

The Bullet can be piloted or operated remotely. It can carry a payload of 15,000 pounds up to 2,500 feet, meaning the ships could be useful for heavy-lift transport at low altitude. Or, it can fly at 20,000 feet with up to 2,000 pounds of cargo. It can be outfitted with various instruments for surveillance or science. The ship will sell for $8 million, and E-Green plans to build an entire fleet that can be leased for $300,000 to $500,000 a month.[/quote]

Looks like tampon but otherwise this is great.

Penetrate it then run away.

It's actually the world's largest Blob Launch.

Holy fuck that would be fun to do on that.

I thought it was funny when the two trucks were tugging on it and it wouldn't move around 1:23 :D
