So you're saying that balloons are capable of going as fast as 17000 miles per hour.
No, I am not taking the bait from your shill manual.
Yes, I am saying that NASA is clearly wasting tax-payers money.
Note to honorable and honest folks:
Do not get trapped by the shill modus operandi. Nobody has to respond to the obvious lock-step stupid questions from trolls. Discussing anything remotely connected to "science" is nobody's responsibility. Do not get trapped into thinking you need to have answers to their obvious miserable duplicity.
Tell them you do not want your taxes to fund their neurotic games. All you need to tell them is to pay for their sick play with their own dimes --- not with yours. They can never win that argument.
Heck, you can even humor them by saying you are convinced 100% by all of the boring "science" fiction ---- just that you would rather you taxes went to better things like, stopping child abuse.
