I can see how you could launch a balloon from Northern Chyna…put it into some upper air current and be pretty confident it would pass over Canada and the US…But putting two now in South America?

Are they launching these from ships or are they doing a shotgun approach…by launching a bunch into different air currents and establish a world wide constellation.

How many of these balloons does Chyna have up around the world?

From the images I saw of the one we shot down…it looked like it had solar arrays…how long can one of these balloons remain aloft?

Are they flying compressed gas cannisters to keep the balloon up longer?

Oh…and here's a pic for the baker…
