Stratospheric launch pad.
Problem: the cost of sending cargo to space is prohibitive due to the exponential cost of the fuel/weight ratio: more fuel is needed to lift the fuel that fuels the different rocket stages. Rockets also burn a lot of oxgen out of the atmosphere while releasing significant amounts of carbon into it.
Solution: launch rockets from higher up in the air. Following the example of Felix Baumgartner's Redbull Stratos skydive, amd numerous eucational experiments, here is a plan for a stratospheric launch platform, as briefly considered for publication by the JBIS.
