This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
500 to 1,000 meters AGL is going to be a problem for aircrafts. You need remote areas to have no interference bc these are big balloons.
Paint the balloons red and put lights on them so aircraft don't hit them.
Is that thing going to be able to float itself and support the weight of the cables at the altitudes they talk about?
It did that already, yes. It's a BFB: Big Friendly Blimp
I assume they have designed these in a way that doesn't adversely impact migratory birds
They'll hire Anna Paquin, she'll sort something out.
And her cousin, Anna penguin, the avian consultant.
That is really cool!
