This was the company that not only deployed high altitude stratosphere balloons, but managed to map high altitude wind currents at the point where they could navigate balloons without propulsion systems and used LTE to successfully cover various parts of the Earth.
They’re a relic of the preAI tech boom and vestergaurd, the same guy that does lifestraw, has enough money and connections to go for a long time without any feasibility. Sunk cost.
