Re: [BVARC] K5WH-117, BLT-117

If the Balloon is running Linux, it's all open source software that the Chinsese (and every other nation) would have access to anyway. I wouldn't worry about this. If you launched the balloon using Mac, please send me money. And if you launched your balloon running Windows, maybe it went down

[BVARC] Techniques for mitigating Lightning

Re: [BVARC] Balloon Release Bill Introduced in the Texas House
