Airships? you mean dirigibles? you mean giant balloon ships that they havent used since WW2, and even then the best ones were filled with combustable hydrogen? You mean those things that are only used today for overhead shots of football games? You mean those flying things that would loose to an ST in a race, but yet takes a mile to turn due to the instense virtual bouyancy?

yeah... those are cool!!!

closest thing you come to anti grav, theres some misconceptions about airships, your gas in your tank is more dangerous then the hydrogen in an airship.

This is one of the few discarded great inventions that was never fully developed, I think the last 2 centuries is littered with interesting technologies. But Id have to put Air ships and Nuclear power at the top of the list of technologies with the largest potential, but never pursued or fully developed.

Imagine where we would be today if we would have fully pursued nuclear fission technologies, learning to safely harness fission in every day applications such as cars, jets. really every fuel/energy source has its hazard, JP8 fuel for planes, the most toxic stuff you can think of, probably just as bad as anything radioctive if it containinates an area.

And Airships... I can only imagine we probably have floating way stations or mini cities in the air, or Air cargo haulers instead of ocean freight. So can haul so much more stuff with airships then airplanes and faster then ocean freighters or trains. It would be awesome.

Fission is ok, but fusion is better becasue it doesn't necessarily involve any harmful radiation or waste.

Dispite energy costs, the energy output from a fusion reactor would be far greater. Theres a team in California I believe working on a fusion reactor, using a donut shaped chamber with plasma flowing in the centre contained by a electromegnetic field.

where do people get these jobs? honestly?
