Irrelevent fact: the Japanese used to send balloons over during WWII with bombs...one actually hit someone, although it wasn't announced at the time to prevent panic in the US. -------------

One of them carrying an incendiary bomb made it as far as Iowa and started a field on fire. Also, some of them would actually carry locusts to destroy crops. |

Nah, People have been sending those up for years. The SmallSat program I'm part of over here does Balloon launches just like that with local high school students and there are a bunch of other Universities that do similar programs. ------------- Real Men play Tuba [IMG]http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1859/newsmall6xz.jpg"> PH33R TEH 1337 Dwarf! http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/log_off_user.asp" rel="nofollow - DONT CLICK ME!!1 |
