Algorithmnast writes "Discovery has a short article on using large slow-moving airships to move large objects without the need to dismantle them.
The company mentioned, Skylifter, refers to the lifting ship as an "ariel crane", not a Thor weapon.
It could easily help move research labs to new parts of the Antarctic, or allow a Solar Tower to be inserted into an area that's difficult to drive to, like say a mesa in New Mexico?"

Poor engineering choice (Score:2)
A caliban crane could probably lift a lot more weight.
