I love their description of the first airship, a rich weirdo's toxic balloon that is destroyed immediately upon landing by a mob of confused peasants.

That's three hours of stuff

Tl;dw anyone?

We can make less-flammible gas bags, and hydrogen can be made to vent upwards in case of fire.

The weather issues are somewhat more handleable but there’s still maneuvering issues. Planes can outrun storms, airships light have a time doing so.

You did the work of an angel. Thank you!!

but the hydrogen part?
