sounds slow and illegal, whereas orbital collection is basically maintenance free and basically legal


As long as you are in airspace and not in space (and those balloons weren't), it's not legal to violate airspace and wiretap signals without permission. So U-Haul wouldn't be much different. And the balloon was very slow as well, at least a truck you can drive and park exactly where you need it.


I think you misread my comment.
