🧵Real talk for any concerned citizens out there. I travel the world checking out aerospace tech. Probably seen more balloons, rockets, flying cars, airships than just about anyone. The US has great balloon tech. In fact . . .

if China wanted to try and take over the US (and why not?) with a balloon army, they'd probably lose. We have big balloons. And, I'm quite sure, the only company on the planet that can launch an imaging balloon in like five minutes and reuse it is @urbanskyimaging in Colorado.

Urban Sky could fill the skies with hundreds of balloons while rivals were trying to launch one over many hours. Sleep well tonight. We will survive these balloons.

Side note: Israel also has good balloons
