Good for sight-seeing, transportation, and spying.

Lots and lots of spying!

That’s a lot cheaper than a traditional yacht and a lot more spacious than a business jet.

I’ve been waiting for something like this for a long time

If the costs were equal,

I’d take a weeklong cruise on that before I’d spend a week on a cruise ship

I wonder what wind velocity will cause it to be grounded. I wouldn’t expect it to do well in a storm or high winds.

At $25 million, I would probably have to visit the bank. I wonder if thy would give me one of those little coupon books to make the payments.

has all-weather capabilities

I've got a bridge to sell you. Seriously they're going to knock it down and my cousin is in charge of selling the scrap. You can make a fortune. I'd do it myself but my capital is tied up clearing up an international banking problem for the president of Nigeria.

Anyhow this airship can land in a hurricane. It's not like there is any history of problems with airships and bad weather.

I’ll take two. One for home and one for the vacation cabin.

Cool, just think of the savings for NFL season tickets... Practically pays for itself!

Even better, reroute some of the helium into the ventilation system for a neat practical joke on your friends!

Or, you could buy one of these off some aliens. They might want to upgrade to one of the more compact and gravity-wave-efficient saucers. Contact George Noory at "Coast to Coast". I gather that he's trying to sell this to the public.

Now picture twin blimps held together by a rigid frame, then 50 twins at 1000’ intervals, all the way up to the tropopause(50,000). Tether line is power/lightning line as well as elevator cable. It would be a model for the Space Elevator. It could be tethered anywhere. Wear your space suit when you go to the TOP OF THE WORLD.

The game "Crimson Skies" immediately comes to mind. I am a sky pirate. Your booty is mine.

Typical crap you get from a committee.

What I ordered was along the lines of (Gerry Anderson's) Supercar or Heinlein's Gay Deciever, and THIS is what they hand me.

They better not be expecting me to pay them.

Kind non-commercialized, but if it were in USA it would look like the Bladerunner floating commercial blimps
