The thing is gigantic. It's definitely not cheap and most likely more than the unit cost of a missile.

- iancmceachern 4y agoMissles are pretty expensive, the sidewinders they used to shoot out down cost between 200 and 400k
- ancientworldnow 4y agoA regular hot air balloon can cost 200-400k and this is substantially larger with more lift capability and had presumably expensive payload and propulsion. Worldview spent millions of dollars on a substantially smaller balloon that granted is capable of a few miles higher flight with less payload.
- iancmceachern 4y agoNot really, a regular hot air balloon usually costs 20-40k, a crazy fancy shaped balloon ised for advertising will maybe push 100.
