Being in New Zealand I remember the google balloon project, what happened to that?
- codyogden 4y agoProject Loon was killed last year.
- vl 4y agoIt flew away into stratosphere.
- Ensydr 4y agohahahaha
- jamesvnz 4y agoMy understanding is that it could be made to work, but Starlink came along and clearly solved the problem of delivering high speed internet to remote areas better.
- reportingsjr 4y agoLoon was shut down, but some of the technology is being elsewhere. (not surprising, this is how a lot of r&d projects go) Some of the laser communication link tech is being used in project taara.
