Original Note:
This NOAA aircraft is monitoring hurricane Milton, not directing it. Hurricanes are too powerful to be controlled or manipulated with today's technology. Fear of "public backlash" from posts like this is one of the factors limiting hurricane research. https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/about_hrd/aircraft.html https://apnews.com/article/weather-control-climate-change-hurricanes-cloud-seeding-735eaed734e132d6260ee94701c72d5e https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hrd_sub/modification.html https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S221209632300061X
