(According to witness)>NASA: "[T]his tool helps guide telescopes to more accurately and clearly capture the stars, galaxies and black holes."What are we to make of this? It's political because American taxpayer money funds this, and NASA in turn is run by the government, and they are expecting us to believe that equipment floating under a balloon, which eventually crashed into a farm, was helping them chart the cosmos.Why wouldn't they use satellites, in outer space, to do that? Wouldn't they have a better view and a near perpetual timeline over which to do it?Sources:>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/10/texas-woman-sees-parachute-farm-ends-finding-missing/>https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/giant-piece-of-wayward-nasa-research-equipment-lands-on-west-texas-farm/ar-AA1NSdpE?apiversion=v2&domshim=1&noservercache=1&noservertelemetry=1&batchservertelemetry=1&renderwebcomponents=1&wcseo=1>https://universemagazine.com/en/a-lost-nasa-science-lab-fell-from-the-sky/
>>519370670I would rather tax money fund this than niggers and spics
>>519370670>space balloonsThe weather balloon narrative is starting to make more sense.
>>519370670I can't find this video anymore.Guess they took it down at some point (no surprise, it's one of the worst slip-ups).https://www.youtube.com/shorts/QUT4MTUwNvk
>>519370670taxes should be going to nasa and space travel, and not to poors. poors never try to not be poor when someone is paying everything for them.I know because everyone I know I government assistance never tries to get off of it.
Oh look, it's more well-poisoning niggers trying to sneak a flat earth/moon hoax thread past the jannies
>>519370670It's probably cheaper to go to all this trouble adjusting for the atmosphere than putting an equivalent sized telescope in orbit. Or several equivalently sized telescopes.
>>519370670>Why wouldn't they use satellites, in outer space, to do that?because this is cheaper and sometimes it isn't necessary to put up a satellite. if you did even the slightest bit of research you would know this.
>>519370670sounds like this is just a coverup story and the balloon has a complete different usecase. probably a spy balloon like what the chinks have.but this one crashed and they has to come up with some story quickly.
>>519371152I found it, but it's been altered with audio removed.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_K3u0rEmOoo
>>519371313Found this image on one of OP's links showing what the object they found wasIt's basically a huge stabilized balloon platform for various scientific instruments, including telescopesBy going to 120,000 feet they are able to drastically reduce atmospheric interference with those measurements compared to ground-based observationshttps://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/wallops-arcsecond-pointer-fact-sheet.pdf
>>519370670Just look up Google's Project Loon. They were using high altitude balloons to provide internet to remote areas of the world. Ask yourself why they would need to do this if satellites were real. Space is fake and gay.
>>519371354>because this is cheaper and sometimes it isn't necessary to put up a satellite. if you did even the slightest bit of research you would know this.I've heard this before, but I just find it difficult to believe.Because, after all, anything put up in a balloon is eventually going to fall back to earth.It's not an "if" it's a "when" kind of thing.And we've put thousands of satellites into space, many thousands, so the cost clearly isn't holding them back for those missions.To me it seems like something other than the stated purpose was going on here.
>>519371152>>519371475That's footage from the London Planetarium:https://www.britishpathe.com/asset/187839/ - 2:10 onwardsIf there was audio you could probably contextualize why Pathé (not NASA) decided to attach that footage at the end.>>519372101>you can't use multiple different methods to accomplish the same goal
>>519372468>"And we've put thousands of satellites into space, many thousands, so the cost clearly isn't holding them back for those missions"Cost constantly holds back satellites, especially scientific platforms.There's satellites launching this year that have been waiting for a chance to launch since 2010, and hundreds of others have been scrapped since it took so long for their turn, the actual reason the satellite was built doesn't exist any more.It's not just cost, it's also availability of launch services.Even recoverability is a big reason to develop prototypes using high altitude balloons since if you need to be 99.99% your shit is going to work in space first time, it's better to develop a balloon based platform first where you can actually get a good idea of what does work and what doesn't.
Every dollar that goes to space is a dollar that doesn't go to a nigger.

>>519370670/pol/ is now faggots telling each other how fucking cueless retards they are, nobody does any research whatsoever, zoomer faggots cannot live without 'chat', every search engine now is even tied to AI, still they remain willfully ignorant for some reason lmao. Millenials were faggots but zoomers are dumb as niggers and thin like niggers too
