I understand each balloon has a lifespan of about 100 days. when it “expires” they deflate it remotely and let it drop with the help of an inbuilt parachute. So, it may not be an accidental crash but “controlled” landing.

Am reliably informed that Loon is owned by gugu and not sukabaga of mukuru fame, so I guess they are liable to make payments to any aggrieved party

Halafu wakakataa drones to fly over? Ironical. But looking at the loon, they’ve minimized cost as there’s no packaging done, flex solar and tape

Son, you have made a very good observation. In fact you are my candidate for the next Nobel prizes. Yours is a brilliance that can only be inherent in a family of intellectuals. One small problem though. Why, with the apparent brilliance in your long line of brilliant ancestry, wouldn’t your father figure out how to use a condom?
