Dirigibles are awesome!
It is redundant to say that dirigibles are awesome. For me however they are even better than that. Blimps are so majestic, misunderstood, and underutilized. At one time they were a metaphor for our bold commitment to technology.
Then the Hindenburg happened and humanity showed its true face. Now blimps are a constant reminder of how spineless and sensationalistic we all are. Note that the Hindenburg did go up because of the hydrogen, but the powdered aluminum that coated the envelope didn’t help matters. And most people died from trying to jump out. Besides, come on! What do you want for 1937!
Anyway, Aeros may help lighter than air make a comeback. This one is helium filled, but it can still carry 1.6 million pounds of cargo. I am still waiting for a personal dirigible though.
