Just curious...how might a blimp or a similar flying device fare on the moon, perhaps involved in autonomous mining operations? If they're considering inflatable habitats, why not inflatable resource gatherers? I would imagine that the components required to develop such a craft are well within current technology...if there is higher lift on the moon, then perhaps scaling up operations using these vehicles could start up a moon based mining economy, starting with harvesting oxygen from the regolith :O
