When I posted this snark I was simply mocking the stupidity of going through all of this trouble to shoot down balloons.
But it turns out that my sarcasm was just early.
Just priced some high altitude research balloons that expand up to 35 feet for $395, on sale.
They didn't give a maximum altitude or payload capacity.
And I don't know how much or where to get Helium. But anyone in China could probably get all for half the price.

Ukraine is using chemical weapons against Russian troops. Scott says it’s a horrible way to die.
It's become obvious to me in the last few days that the alien invasion is upon us.
How can I be so sure? I used my secret decoder ring to translate the signals my teeth were picking up. Yes indeed they are here.
The thing is it seems that these are primitive aliens that haven't crossed the technological flight barrier beyond the use of balloons.
So how did they get here? Any ideas.
Join us on the last week of our Mexican vacation. I hope you've enjoyed this exploration of the Mexican Yucatan. This week we're visiting Celestun and the white city, Merida. Celestun is home to flocks of pink flamingos with a nice beach facing the bay of Campeche. Merida is the capitol of the state of Yucatan. It is a cultural center with lots of museums, music, and foods.
Afternoon folks!
This week I've uploaded a bunch of quality stuff. There's an album of harmonica blues from Carey Bell and a compilation of a bunch of Johnny Shines and Robert Lockwood's early singles on the JOB label. In the blues rock category, there's an early not-too-common album of live recordings from Roy Buchanan and albums from Rory Gallagher and Blue Cheer. There's some 70's west-coast bluegrass/rock from Muleskinner a band with Clarence White (guitarist from the Byrds and earlier the bluegrass band The Kentucky Colonels), David Grisman (mandolin player who played on some Grateful Dead material and projects with Jerry Garcia), Peter Rowan (bluegrass singer and guitarist from Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Boys through Seatrain to Old And In The Way and great solo stuff), Richard Greene (fiddler extraordinaire) and Bill Keith (accomplished, widely recorded Banjo player). Finishing off is a Richard & Linda Thompson album.
Enjoy!
