Bless this day to us, Oh LORD! The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer. Psalm 19:9-14

Growing up partly on the NJ shore, seeing ‘blimps’ was a common thing
back then. I have lived in AZ a good many years, and it wasn’t but a few yrs ago to my surprise I heard a familiar “Hummm” rushed out to the back yard and my suspicion was right.. it was a small white blimp! (it looked like a baby beluga.. lol) I heard a company was making them nearby (Tucson AZ)
I don’t know if still in business, but it was awesome to see and close enough to see the passengers enjoying the ride. I took a photo but cant post it here. I do hope they make a come back!

Dirigibles face some unique issues when you try to scale them up: cross section, and therefore air resistance, balloons, pardon the pun, limiting speed and creating increasing controllability issues in weather. There do seem to be several companies working on these issues, so we’ll have to see, but mankind and Americans in particular are not likely to select slow and safe travel over fast and slightly riskier.
