We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

Harkening back to a previous thread think of how many firetrucks would be needed if of these crashed on landing.

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.

Nuclear engines...

🙄 there's enough fuss and deliberation about launching space probes with nuclear power sources, let alone flying around in a mega-plane with nuclear material on board.

And why bother when you have airships like Airlander in testing.

Won't happen, Fox are daft enough to think "concepts" all come to fruition. All manner of crazy concepts are conceived.

The name 'Hindenburg' comes to mind.  Not that Airlander would be filled with hydrogen, but just the same.
