Yep, Gotta keep that helium around for airships the Navy gave up almost a century ago.
“Gotta keep that helium around for airships the Navy gave up almost a century ago.”
It’s not the 1930s anymore (but it does rhyme with it)
Helium is used in MRIs. I’m due for an MRI next week.
“For an MRI machine to keep going, it typically utilizes around 1,700 liters of liquid helium. Keeping in mind just how frequently MRI machines are used and how vital they are in diagnosing and monitoring health conditions, it comes as no surprise that the medical field is one of the most active users of helium.”

Helium is also used to pressurize liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen on launch vehicles. The aerospace industry is concerned about this development as well.
Ummm...one word...Lasers
