If satellites already exist… why does NASA still launch giant balloons? 👀

Scientific balloons are MUCH cheaper than satellites and can carry experiments to the edge of space for testing. They’re perfect for astronomy, climate research, and trying new technology before sending it into orbit. 🚀🎈

Some NASA balloons fly over 110,000 feet high — above 99% of Earth’s atmosphere!

Would you trust a balloon to carry space experiments? 🌍
