I agree, it makes no sense. I guarantee military level satellites can count the hairs on your head.

There's a dozen reasons why it doesn't make sense that this is a spy balloon. First and largest, you can't control where a balloon goes, it's literally at the mercy of the wind. Let me quash the "it's got a motor on it" counter argument right now. Jet streams (a quick google search tells me) have speeds of up to 275 mph at an altitude of 4 to 8 miles. That's the altitude this big ass balloon is at. The motor and prop, or the jet engine that could fight those winds would be HUGE given the fact that the balloon has zero aerodynamic shaping.

So let's drop this spy balloon nonsense when, as you said, the satellites can indeed count the change in your pocket.

I hope this isn't that "amp knowledge" you were talking about.

I'm happy you read my posts with deep interest.

If you have something you want to debate, spell it out. What do you find wrong in my spy balloon post? No memes, no jokes, no funny comebacks - like an adult - tell me what you think is in error. Can you do it???

EDIT: I'll check back in a few hours. Gotta go buy some parts for a Tele I'm working on. Hey, do you play guitar?

Sounds like you speak from design experience, comrade

Just like I thought. You got nothing. But carry on stalking me. You were smart to walk away.

You missed quoting my edit. Thought I'd help you out.

You should probably go back for that GED, and help yourself out.

Keep walking away from debates, friend. No sense in revealing too much about nothing.
