Just showing Chinese, we can fly higher than your little balloon.

So instead of just launching a satellite they thought it better to attach one to a balloon?

I bet any of the 99 luft balloons can fly higher than U2.

Didn't realize we still use U2s, also Blackbirds ftw.

If cruising speed is roughly 400-450mph, wouldn't that balloon be in your eye sight for a millisecond only?

I had no idea we were still flying the U2 until I saw this story the other day.
