Might as well accomplish two stupidities in one blow.
To: RomanSoldier19
I know this happens nowadays, but I’d rather not know about it until I step off the plane (after it lands, that is).

Sure. And back in the 50s, they were predicting that by the turn of the century, everyone would be flying around in their jet-powered cars.

Yes, hydrogen burns nearly colorless, but the things it sets on fire do not, such as the doped skins of the zeppelin.

We could travel to Britain within five years.
Yikes! That is a rather slow plane, isn't it?

“...doped skins of the zeppelin...”
Actually much worse — the dope was in layers with aluminum and iron oxide, more commonly known as thermite.

The uk government pledged 1.9m pounds? Roughly 3 million dollars... to completely revolutionize and remake an industry? A single new airliner sells for $100 million. This is laughable.
