Mexico threatened to ban geoengineering after Make Sunsets' attempt last year. Now, the company launched more balloons—this time in the U.S.
The idea of actually conducting real-world SAI tests, however, is still highly contentious. A small-scale test study by Harvard scientists in Scandinavia, for instance, wasin 2021 following outcry from environmentalists and local Indigenous groups. Then, late last year, Iseman and his innocuously-named startup Make Sunsets came along.
The first balloon inflates into a pale 9 ft. globe and strains upward over Iseman’s head. When he releases it, a string pulls tight and snatches his measurement equipment into the sky. Within a few seconds, the balloon shrinks to a tiny dot. Then it’s gone. The next balloon flies without trouble as well. As it’s getting dark, Iseman decides to launch one more balloon, this one without any kind of tracking hardware. Asked why, he responds, “Because I want to, basically.”“Nope,” Iseman says.
Launched by solar geoengineering startup Make Sunsets, a weather balloon filled with helium, air and sulfur dioxide takes off at a park in Reno, Nevada.The ethos, though, has sometimes left others paying for Iseman’s choices.
