 That Balloon - A Load of Hot Air? - zippy
For those living under a rock for the last day or so:

I think Biden is right - it should be shot down but the USA military says otherwise.

Is this a lack of capability, perhaps or a fear that there is some dodgy power cell on board because they've said it would cause damage to civilians if it hit a populated area (like Alaska, Canada, Montana)?

And then there's the tiny radioactive capsule lost and found in Australia. The size of a pea and yet found on a road that is longer than the distance between Lands End and John O'Groats.

How much radiation was that thing really putting out for it to be tracked & found that easily?
