We know something is around us. But we dont really know the distances

what are its components?

Or what it is

any ideas how to test it?

try to get a reflection off a dome?

balloon probe?

I dont have the capability

sonic blast?

what would it take?

Balloon probes would be good launched from southern continents

why there?

why is that any better?

Further away from the north

im feeling very stupid, what are u talking about?

Test the north too i guess but you were hoping to see the dome

dome?

@gilgameshyeah. Amthyric wants to test for it

me too. seeking funding for high altitude balloon experiments. will include probe for firmament

cameras

gas sampler

how much would it cost?

pressure sensor

gofundme

likely over $300k for R&D

Problem would be getting the data

i got an idea

go on a hot air balloon and control your drone

go to the max you can

i don't just want data....I want those gas samples

Yeah

Pollen

I want to see the gas composition as a function of altitude. look for any other materials

pollen...microbes....other particulates....

but mostly I want to see this ozone layer

I want to sample in a GC mass spec

can't you just use vacuum tubes?

not the TV ones

but just a negative pressure container

to collect yes

that should be in the hundreds of dollars range

it's lower tech
