what if it was made of helium though
that stuff doesn't burn
Helium has problems of its own, sadly. Besides being a little bit less effective at actually lifting, it's relatively scarce on Earth and it leaks even faster than hydrogen
I believe we're also already getting dangerously close to depleting our supply of helium, as well.
That's actually not a big deal for blimps. Blimps don't lose a lot of helium, they only need to be serviced for if like once a year. When people say we have a helium crisis, they're talking about high-purity helium for advanced medical work and advanced science.
Phew, so it's only a crisis for important shit. Dodged a bullet there! :D
