Last week I heard Stupid talking about balloons. Just for the record. The spy satellites communicate on "blind frequencies". Blind frequencies are reflected or absorbed by the medium. In this case it is layers of the atmosphere. All the comms are done on blind frequency and than downloaded straight down on a directional frequency. This way you avoid interference from any ground operation with your spy satellite. The Chinese balloon was doing signal analysis on those frequencies. These balloons are one shot not recyclable just like condoms.

AARL has balloons and satellites and can freely explain these things. Do you remember when info was published about spy planes during the Radio Wars?

Now you know how stupid the bosses of the CIA or the president or former president are.

I like the China-man demand for returning the used condom.

In case you don't know. Rumor has it that the Pentagon put an unprecedented troops deployment in the Pacific for July 2023 that might include Taiwan.
