Too much competition from Sergey's airship.

There's a reason why it didn't work before during the 1960s. And why dirigibles died in the 1930s. Nothing in technology or the laws of physics have changed enough to alter its viability!

MOST people, in my experience, who push, fund or jump onto the bandwagen for such things have ZERO STEM knowledge, zero economics/finance knowledge and zero market knowledge. A simple back-of-the-envelope calculation made before they "jumped" with both feet would have nipped the stupid in the bud and saved a lot of wasted money.

But it's human nature to be willfully stupid.

Illegible because of paywall. Please remove.
