    They are kind of impractical nowadays. Nobody wants to get somewhere slow.

    For recreational “travel for the sake of travel” it’d be kind of cool. I’d wager that a zeppelin “sky cruise” would be more environmentally friendly than a traditional ocean cruise, and offer way more diverse views. That’d be a real sweet vacation, actually.

    Some 15-minute explainer channel (maybe HAI) had a video about risk perception recently, and I think this would be a pretty good example.

      Yeah, and they could be 100% solar powered too.

      Just think about taking a Zeppelin across the Rockies, the Himalayas, or the Alps. I’d totally do it.
