  1. Granted. It's $3/entry, but the entries shrink, so you have to Take Two. I wish for KSP Sims to let the Kerbals have gardens.
  2. Found a hi-res picture. They write that the flight altitude was 25..37 km. It was equipped with the compressed helium tanks to maneuver up and down (and thus, choose the preferred wind direction to maneuver horizontally). So, was shot down when lowered down to ~20 km on the helium reserve depletion. (Not posting the link as it's too emotionally political.) Also, they say the local citizens have watched AA missile launches at Billings (MT), but failed due to the flight altitude and poor target for their effective guidance. The debris have sunk at ~14 m depth, and probably will be fished out soon.
  3. The classics. (But the rope is anyway good, to align the intervals properly.)
  4. https://time.com/6253010/chinese-spy-balloon-shot-down/ (58 000 + 10 000) * 0.3048 / 1000 ~= 21 km Interesting: how did the IR head capture the cold balloon, and why did they not intercept it before if the altitude numbers are told correctly.
  5. Technically, they had. RB-36 and Corona. Just the balloons were cheaper, and since 1960s the planes were vulnerable.
  6. A long rope tied to both ends of the area. Something of known length to go along it and mark the places. Short rulers like a roulette or so may fail with making the line straight.
  7. To shoot the balloon from below instead of sticking into it. Practical in a shallow haven.
  8. https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/north-korean-balloon-briefly-spotted-over-south-korea-seoul-says-2023-02-06/ Now a similar one at Korea.
  9. Hey, Enrico! Come here please, and touch the soup. Waiter! Where is shish from this kebab?
  10. Because Pluto was discovered in 1930, while Plutonium in 1940. Where are other chemical element planets?
  11. The Deutsch call the weather "wetter". So, they think that it's wetter when raining. Thus, the water is wetter than nonwater.
  12. I can't understand the people who still keep playing Minecraft when there is Minetest.
  13. Floor 3287: The vogradius of Vogsphere written on the wall.
  14. It isn't. It's the chicken is frozen. Is Boca Chica affiliated to KFC?
  15. No, because the cat is biting them. Why was Titanic not made of titanium?
  16. Banned for being a member of the Great Party.
  17. Granted. But now see "Loading..." every five minutes. I wish for new clones of nucleons.
