While this may be inspiring and humerous, it brought a few thoughts in to my head.

With all this increase in fuel prices, and climate change stuff, why don't we consider reviving the dirigible. This was the way people used to travel frequently. My great-grandad flew that way, back when airplanes were flying golf carts.

Do you think this is a feasible alternative?

Wow I want to do that! And as for your question OP, I think we should! I'd love to travel by blimp. Purely because I love the word blimp. :biggrin:
