If they can expand their claimed contiguous zone around low-tide “land” features made by pooping out dredged sand, we can expand our airspace to the fucking moon we landed on.

Chinese spy balloons floating over the US and latin america

Always thought it was as high as you can defend. Really, if it is higher than what you can enforce, what is to stop anyone from trespassing? Wasn't that theory of the SR 71 program?
We can certainly defend against satellites... so there goes that idea.
I always thought the SR-71 was more about not getting shot down than some geopolitical legalese.
That is about right, which is the Kármán line where space 'starts'. The United States defines space as starting at 50 miles while the international definition is 100 kilometers, which is how a pair of X-15 pilots are recognized by us as astronauts but not internationally, and that would the the 'limit' of our sovereign airspace.
Our Best Look Yet At The Chinese Spy Balloon's Massive Payload
A just declassified high-resolution image of the Chinese spy balloon taken from a U-2 shows what appear to be propellers and other features.

Y'all should have given it the bird . . . just saying.

Oh, piss off, internet boy. Go cry in your beer that stuff that probably started at the TS/SCI level had to be screened and declassified before you could write your little internet column for the Cheeto-encrusted airshow nerds in Mommy's basement.

Reminds me of the punchline to a joke, where the guy replies to his doctor, “just watching porn and eating Cheetos”

Whoa, whoa, whoa!!
The Cheeto-encrusted airshow nerds are a completely different group than these Twitter
Clowns, and we take offense to your statement!
Get your dork-groups sorted out!
Didn't mean to imply that the entire airshow crowd was composed of Cheeto-encrusted nerds. I flew jets because my dad and I were part of said crowd in the 80s and 90s at Burke Lakefront Airport.
That said, anyone who's done that or who's done a XC to an airshow knows that amongst the airshow crowd, there's a subset of . . . umm . . . those people. And if they're not at the airshow, they're definitely trying to assert their dominance amongst themselves on Reddit via Wikipedia and Jane's.
