Some sort of decently sized blimp would probably be cheaper to run and don't need to constantly use energy to stay above the ground.

If someone can rectify images taken out the side window of a plane as it comes in for landing, and taken by astronauts on the space station they could probably rectify images from a sat without stablisation. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
