High Flight is an expansion on the idea first put forth in PRIMROSE AND THORN - that people can live, work, and explore the atmosphere of Jupiter.
High Flight began when I considered that in the upper portions of Jupiter's atmosphere it might be entirely possible to use something like a sailplane to explore the atmosphere. Due to the force of the winds there would be no need for propulsive systems, engines, etc. All you need is a good feeling for the wind patterns and the desire to fly forever.
This story was sparked when one of Tangent's reviewers commented that it was a pity there was no Jupiter scenery described in the story.
Sounded like a challenge to me.
