lazy8 Posted April 22, 2005 CID Share Posted April 22, 2005 because a blimp that big would block out the sun. Huh? I also missed some thing here The actual object isn't that big at 65,000ft we might not see it anyway. It has a "sight" that is about the size of TX. Basically it can cover that much area with a good service signal.

humorman Posted April 23, 2005 CID Share Posted April 23, 2005 Yea they say thats what it is for but think of this they have it up there closer to us and they have communication with it how much yo bet it will be like a big satilite and they have cameras on them and since the current ones are so far away they can't use in our yards and all but just think about how close this one will be and how good of a view of our house and the traffic and all we won't have any privacy! They will set it up to view everything and even maybe monitor traffic and we will have more of that shit were we get tickets in our mail because a camera at a light saw us run it or speeding only this one can see large areas and zoom in enough to read you tag and even see you face! Witch they can almost do with the satilites! And this one will be closer! Have you ever seen like that vide of seeing Osama or whoever well they could tell what he was wearing and see him from on top of them like they were right above them seeing all there clothes and what they were wearing and and what they were holding like they were there! Well this one will be closer just imagine what they will be able to see and do woth this thing!

Slower Posted April 23, 2005 CID Share Posted April 23, 2005 I don't think being close will help the internet much. Too small of a transponder footprint.
