When I was like 7, I figured that since orange soda tastes good and cocoa tastes good, mixing cocoa powder in orange soda would taste good.

We’re eating mustikka over here, which translates to bilberry in english. The “blueberries” are pensasmustikka in finnish.

You could attach the kites to the blimp though? I’d imagine you could make the ground tether/power cable cheaper and lighter by using a heavier duty transformer with higher voltage, which would be more viable on the blimp. Then have the blimp spread out a fleet of kites when at correct altitude with simpler electronics.

Playing FTL taught me that when you need to reroute power, life support is the first to go.

Keeping weapons hot, engines full and shields up make you dish out or avoid damage. The crew can hold their breath.

Oxygen levels wouldn’t be a factor. The “need high oxygen levels for large size” only applies to invertebrates with very simple breathing systems.

If trex had similar type of lungs as modern birds, they would do just fine. Bird lungs are super efficient (much better than mammals’ puny blind sack lungs) that enable them to fly at high altitudes.
