What weird phrasing. Loon just shutdown on its own and did not participate in any of the sat laser development for Starlink.

Google invested in SpaceX and exited loon at around the same time.

Also at least one of Greg Wylers people at Google working on OneWeb left for Starlink

The laser tech is a different thing within GoogleX

I'm asking why the US doesn't own a blimp with a base station taped to the bottom.

Well, the US doesn't run any phone companies... a bettee question is why don't the telephone companies own or borrow a dirigible to provide emergency services. Hazards of dirigibles in huricane season might be part of it, of course.

Hurricanes would blow it away

That would require the government to be innovative.
