      I actually think we should go back to hydrogen filled airships. They’re the perfect platform for electric flight free of greenhouse gas emissions. Just load it up with batteries and put some range extending photovoltaics on top. Sure, batteries are heavy, but that’s not an issue if relatively cheap hydrogen is used instead of helium for lift. We have the technology to use hydrogen safety so it really seems like the way to go.

    Do you use the airships to commit crime?

    It implies that you have anti-airship account, or that there are anti-airship accounts. Travesty!

      The safest approach is to treat all accounts as anti-airship unless they’ve declared otherwise.

    Where did you see that? I thought they’d weren’t flown anymore.

      This was in Point Pleasant, NJ, back in 2022.

      Why don’t you think blimps are flown anymore, or was it just this particular Shark Week one?

        I thought airships were retired after the Hindenburg incident. I’d heard they were working on helium filled ones to avert future similar disasters, but didn’t realise they were in general use yet. I live in London and have never seen one.

          In my ~40 years of being alive, blimps have always been around. Mostly for advertising and aerial coverage of events.

          I honestly can’t tell if you’re being genuine or not.

          Probably the most famous example is the Goodyear blimps which is primarily a US thing but it also visits London from time to time. In the US they’re primarily used for sporting events and advertising.

            I honestly, genuinely, have never seen an airship in real life. I’d like to, though!

          As of 2021 there were about 25 piloted airships in existence and they all use helium for lifting gas. I don’t see them often, but I’ve seen them used for advertising many times in the sky above New Jersey and Connecticut.

            If there are only 25, it makes sense I haven’t seen any.
