Google's high-altitude (stratospheric) balloon wireless provider (?) system, Project Loon [google.com] has released a publicity video. [youtube.com] Interesting shots of balloons, mission control, balloon factory, New Zealand mountains and all that goodness. It is a publicity video, so not much detail in there. They claim the balloons now last in the air for ~ 100 days, and their factory can produce one balloon in a "few hours".

I'm not the biggest fan of Google but they do have some cool projects going.
