I can zoom in and take pictures of the moons craters with my galaxy phone.
The balloon was the size of 3 city busses. It was a big fricking balloon.
Not like it was a birthday balloon that needed a horse cock-sized lens to see it.

So does anyone know if they collected any of the equipment it was carrying for analysis? Or did it all get shredded and/or sink to the bottom if the ocean.
They started recovery and diving operations almost immediately. A few articles I read said the US probably gathered more data from circling it for days and sponging up all the data it was trying to transmit than they will from whatever is recovered.

I read there was no warhead to minimize damage. They likely choose to avoid 20mm cannon for same reason. 10k foot difference also likely made cannons unreliable.

Was using a sidewinder really necessary?
