My dad's uncle is 94 and he remembers seeing the Hindenburg flying over Atlantic Canada toward New Jersey the day before it crashed and burned. He was born in 1930 so was 6 and 3/4 years old at the time. Obviously he also lived through WW2. It's crazy how much he has lived through and seen.

I play VR games on a $500 device. It's pretty incredible already.
I mean we haven't really used airships for anything except war since the turn of the century. And even in war their usecases were very specialized. It seems like a solution looking for problems.
