What happens to the gas bag once it makes orbit? Am I correct in assuming
that
there will be a serious pressure differential between the interior and
exterior
of the bag? I'm thinking "World's Largest Baloon Goes POP!" ?????

Maybe they're going to stress the skin so that it pops open at the back end,
with the escaping gas supplying thrust.

And what exactly would one make a 6,000' long airship out of that wouldn't
be
torn apart by all of the forces acting upon it?

Maybe they got one of those "structural integrity fields" like they use on
Star Trek.
