Re: "Space Bubbles". It's an interesting idea but how would solar wind and gravity keep 1.27 trillion bubbles in a Lagrange Orbit? Wouldn't the bubbles be prone to unpredictable (solar wind) blowing and not be very well held down by gravitational forces due their small mass? (Non-expert knee-jerk reaction.).
