From the article the turbine unit weighs 2204lbs so that’s ~9400 lbs total. Omni calculator says you need 348,436 standard 11" party balloons or 3,979,252 litres of helium to get off the ground and 423,779 party balloons to reach 1.5km altitude.
“To big to fail” just like US automakers and banks.
The US government is bullshit.
2"Ø UHMWPE rope has a breaking strength of ~375000lbs weighs 94lbs per 100’ so about 4700lbs for 5000’
That said I have know idea if 2"Ø is the correct diameter rope to anchor one of these balloons.
edit: I was originally planning on adding in the weight of a high voltage transmission cable, but I’m on my phone and feeling lazy, maybe some one else will feel more inspired than I.

Wait, you are telling me that the company whos entire business is collecting personal information, including people who don’t sign up for their services, to leverage for advertising, is keeping their platforms unsecured they can continually grab more information rather than secure it?

I kneW it would be flock just from the headline.
We fucked up real and ended up in the stupidest timeline.
That sounds like a modded Jeep. I love that description by the way.
Always RTFM. Or at least the signs.
I’m assuming that’s the weight of the turbine without helium in the balloon.
