Will be a problem to hold them at place ... also for low flight aviation.

We are still undeveloped as long as we don´t realize, that all our science is still descriptive, and than beyond that description lies a whole new world we just haven´t even started to fully understand.

balloon =20km
the idea of a free internet and facebook,, may also have similar project,, if any problems will be for large telecommunications companies that will do everything possible to bring down these balloons.
aircraft ?? I do not think they have that many planes flying algura, I vien the Concorde(Operating without),, but no longer flies and militarily Russians have the Mig31 and American U-2; the SR-71 and RQ-4 "Hawk" (UAV)



planes

 ... i knew it ... you're pulling me nose !
 
   SR-71 was decommissioned 1999 to be replace by the SR-72 (what seems to be now actually the hypersonic thing US (and recently china too) tested few times whyte the from near orbit decent), having also that RQ-180 drone project as spare.

   And Global Hawk has a maximum altitude of 65,000ft.  (roughly 20 km)   ... you fiend !  :))


 ... nah, my point was, that those balloons are pretty uncontrollable as being in the winds (witch at that altitude can be quite a thing) - fixating it by 25 km ropes is a little ... NAH ... Thats why i would rather put them on some ultra-light and solar powered drones, that can cope whyte that. Something more like the NASAs Helios , just specifically designed to fly long-term at 25 km altitude.
