That’s just the fabric. What about all the equipment you’ll put inside? And for the US to bother to shoot them down my guess is that they’re doing something really funky with what they’re carrying.
- giantg2 4y agoIf you fly dummies for the purpose of having them shot down, they wouldn't have to carry much. It's probably nothing too expensive or they'd put it on a satellite. If they're flying really expensive stuff at commercial flight levels, that's pretty dumb since it will be shot down.

- giantg2 4y agoThe prior ones weren't at the commercial level.
- elorant 4y agoIF they’re dummies why bother shooting them down?
- giantg2 4y agoWe won't know that until the debris is recovered. There's no way to know what payload the next one will be carrying either.
- undersuit 4y agoAnd what if it's just "upcycled" electronics. We could spend a boat load trying to recover bogus data from seawater logged flash drives for nothing.
