Remember the Hindenberg.

Painting the envelope with solid rocket fuel didn’t help much. However, I remember that the Space Shuttle had to have its hydrogen tank topped off constantly during the pre launch procedures, and could only stand fully fueled for a few hours at most.

Please stop confusing the Greenie Weenies with facts. They don’t care how much GREEN it costs as long as it’s GREEN. The GREEN they plan to spend will be coming from TAXPAYERS.

“In-law” Family lore

Did you know that the guy that took that newsreel was the only one of all the reporters in attendance that day that didn’t take a break and go to the bar?

Turns out my brother-in-law’s great-uncle was that guy and he maintained that everybody else missed the shot cuz he stayed out there and was filming while the rest of them were over at the hut/bar having a nip.

Yes. The Hindenburg disaster is a powerful reminder that aluminum dust mixed with lacquer is rocket fuel.
