It's been 70 years since the famous Hindenburg airship disaster, and the aeronautics industry is finally looking at dirigible style airships again, as a viable means of transporting goods and passengers.

While not as speedy as an airplane, the dirigible needs no landing strip and has a much smaller carbon-footprint, making it great for short trips, or trips to otherwise unservable areas.

Just imagine a city-wide mass transportation system based on dirigibles instead of buses or trains. Imagine, instead of a house-boat, wealthy folk could get themselves a house-dirigible.

    It was decided that the Icrontic Lighter-Than-Air World LAN Party Tour and Brewfest aboard the zeppelin Snuffie should commence in the future. Now would be a wise time to secure a passport and the necessary immunizations requisite with world travel, gaming, and drinking. Plans will be revealed in due time.
