Dirigibles are awesome.

In my view, the dream of the dirigible was intentionally destroyed by the (likely staged, i.e. bombed/sabotaged) public/publicized destruction of the hindenburg. It was the 9/11 of its day, and although airships were a largely european phenomenon (though americans had them as well) they were intentionally painted as “nazi” and “unsafe” through mass media after that.

Flying ships grant an autonomy and freedom to individuals that the MIC would not allow :( But the skies belong to us, and i hope to see them return - perhaps more as sail/kite powered vessels than as these diesel monsters.

Auguste picard, and many others, dreamed that balloon craft like this would unite the world and allow us to utilize the jetstream for peaceful purposes and keep the militaries out. Sadly this dream was murdered by tyrants and warmongers. And now we have to show identification, and submit to arbitrary search and abuse at “airports” instead of the free and unmolested travel that is our right :(

Imagine having a small neutrally buoyant craft moored to your place with a rope ladder...
