Actually, later models will have pressurized cabins and be able to leave the atmosphere. This is a way for us to begin colonizing the solar system without relying on giant corporations or governments to get us there.

I'm not sure that's possible, unless a rocket were used. Weather balloons can go pretty high, but there is a limit and propellers work less and less the higher you go due to the atmosphere dwindling.

Yes, for sub-orbital flight, propellers will no longer cut it. Later versions will have to have rockets, or some other form of propulsion.
