Their motto is "Balloon Powered Internet For Everyone""Project Loon balloons float in the stratosphere, twice as high as airplanes and the weather. In the stratosphere, there are many layers of wind, and each layer of wind varies in direction and speed. Loon balloons go where they’re needed by rising or descending into a layer of wind blowing in the desired direction of travel. By partnering with Telecommunications companies to share cellular spectrum we’ve enabled people to connect to the balloon network directly from their phones and other LTE-enabled devices.

Is this what they were shooting down over America last year?

Yeah, shot down one of their own "satellites" in order to drum up some narrative + dissociate balloons with satellite technology.

They shot down some kid's weather balloon (I think for Boy Scouts) because earning a merit badge is now a terrorist offense.

The (((official story))) is that the United States first satellite was actually a giant balloon. That's actually the official story...

A balloon floated in the air, up the atmosphere, into the vacuum of space, and just sorta started orbiting the planet...yep...

No. You made that up.

Won't the balloons just bump into the dome and pop? Pffft. Waste of money. Just have the angels hold the cell towers up there.
