Matt BlazeProbably not a great time to take that trip to Alaska in an unmarked high-altitude balloon that I’ve been planning.
Marc Jacobs@mattblaze Get a flare dispenser. Should be good against Sidewinders. /s
Chris Espinosa@mattblaze balloon. Without the word “balloon” the joke, uhm, falls flat.
Anthropunk (Dr. SA Applin)@Cdespinosa @mattblaze "Weather" or not, it's still funny...
Steve Bellovin@mattblaze Marked wouldn’t help, since I don’t think the fighters were close enough to see it. You need an ADS-B transponder.
Bill@mattblaze Or float an amateur radio repeater. 😞
Farce Majeure@mattblaze yeah, I'd skip both winter and balloon bagging season.
Itwasntme@mattblaze you’ll be right. Just write “press” on the side.

@mattblaze how’s your base jumping?
Dr. Russ @racheltobac @mattblaze I didn't think he ever paid for it... So he's always been free base jumping?
xs4me2Definitely...
Since they are aviation, I guess, don't these simply have a call sign. I mean, aviation is highly regulated. I can't fly my drone just at random...
Patty Kimura@mattblaze You may wish to up-armor the exposed skin of your flight vehicle with heavy reinforced steel plates in case of missile attack. Also, an up-armored emergency steel parachute, just in case.
