Google's Project Loon sends Wi-Fi balloons into stratosphere

The latest "moonshot" from the secretive Google X lab seeks to bring affordable internet to remote locations with a ring of Wi-Fi balloons that will fly around the globe on stratospheric winds.

Google has begun a pilot program for 'Project Loon' in Canterbury, New Zealand, and released 30 balloons last week with 50 testers attempting to connect the balloons.
