Lux Aerobot's wildfire fighting concept is cool, but it has a massive problem with selling to the public sector. Why? Its main competitor is quite literally the public sector down south, in NOAA's GOES-R series. Though they do have an advantage of being much closer than geostationary orbit, and launching a balloon is significantly easier than putting up a satellite. Tough gamble for sure, but Robert sure seems willing to go along with them for the ride.
