It is possible to make balloons in almost any shape. Obviously NASA would know people would zoom in on it. Have you never seen a children's bouncy castle inflatable at a birthday party?
Then how do we have satellite internet?
Look at project Echo that I linked above. They put up a balloon and bounced a signal off it to allow for further communication.
Yeah, and? Balloons will go up into space anyway, and will sink back into orbit when they run out of helium.
They only leak if it's a cheap material that is not airtight - https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/6y1qnu/this_1985_balloononastick_that_has_never_lost_its/
