I don’t know about that.
The important part was at the bottom.
Recovery could give insight into spy capabilities
The balloon debris is scattered in waters that are about 15 metres deep, but stretch across an area 15 football fields long and 15 football fields across, VanHerck said.
U.S. officials have played down the balloon’s impact on national security, but say a successful recovery could give the United States insight into China’s spying capabilities.
[Let’s all hope beyond hope it’s a successful recovery operation of what’s left of it after we blew it up with a missle instead of popping it with a few rounds from Grandpa’s old Winchester]
Kirby said the United States was able to study the balloon while it was aloft and officials hope to glean valuable intelligence on its operations by retrieving as many components as possible.
[What makes it stay up there general? Something very advanced obviously.]
