yes it does. Why the need for balloons when there are supposedly 20,000+ satellites in orbit (which are never seen from the International Scuba Station).

You're funny. Well, not that funny.

ISS orbits about 250 miles up. Starlink sats are orbiting around 345 miles up. Starlink sats are somewhere under 10 ft across (22 for the gen2). If you can pick out a 10ft item 100 miles away through the blackness of space above you then you have some great eyes. And there are around 2000-3000 sats in orbit. The 20,000+ is the final constellation size. Great of you to be so informed of things as you spread meaningless info. Carry on.

What is your 'claim', beyond some random babble about "balloons"?
Not a "claim". I just posted the link.
The StratEx Space Dive jump-started interest in high-altitude balloons as alternatives to satellites. During the run-up to the record attempt, Google started Project Loon, a planned fleet of balloons that would provide internet services. A friend of Eustace’s, Taber MacCallum, helped create a company called World View, which aims to image Earth with balloons called Stratollites.

There are no pictures of satellites in "space".

This is science fiction:

Ah, fantasy land. Got it. Carry on.
Well when you believe something someone told you without proof that is usually called a religion.
