"One of Project Loon’s earliest Eureka moments was the idea that we
could provide continuous Internet connection not by keeping balloons
stationary over a given location (which would require lots and lots of
energy to work against the wind) but by coordinating a fleet of balloons
to work with the wind, such that when one balloon leaves a location
another moves into its place to continue providing connectivity."

Very impressive.  Good work!  Hope they can get the overflight approvals
to scale this up.

Via John Hardy didn't vote for Abbott.

Share and enjoy,
