SHEP, the Space Hydrogen Equatorial Pipeline

This is a short presentation of an idea for a way space can be economically developed, colonized and explored, with the double benefit of pulling excess water from the ocean to address rising shorelines. 1.Water as steam is piped into space through a very long pipeline at the equator and rising to space. 2. The water is used to create hydrogen which floats airships and is a valuable clean fuel. 3.The water is also used to create huge spherical hollow forms of engineered ice, which ultimately could spin, imparting artificial gravity to occupants, and, like water vapor in earths atmosphere, protect from cosmic radiation. Columbia or Brazil are the most likely locations. 4. The pipeline would be supported with hydrogen filled buoying ships.
