Manned Clouds

[Val A Lindsay II]

I've thought of this concept for some time now; The possibility of taking leisurely zeppelin trip across country. 60 mph across the US at an altitude of 1000 feet. It would take 2 to 3 days and would be so much fun!

I was also introduced to this vehicle a few months ago....

Now THIS is the way to cross oceans quickly and in relative safety.
