I thought we were going to run out of helium at some point in the near future.

There's plenty of helium for years to come. The USA has 1bn cubic feet stockpiled and while the Amarillo helium plant has been sold to a private firm they're doing just dandy.

Futuristic? As in the 1930's futuristic? ;)

Should help reduce the cost of 4l of milk below $50 though! A great idea.

Perfect fit for the north. No need for runways and mechanical breakdowns are not certian death.

Awesome. Hopefully they can now build some futuristic dog sled carriages.

Actually, while they're at it, they can build some futuristic wooden ships too.

I'm curious how this will turn out. I like the concept but weather conditions are so unpredictable up there I wonder how reliable they'll be. Airships are even more sensitive to bad weather and especially high winds than aircraft. I guess we'll find out.

And for the reality TV lovers it'll now be called Ice Sky Pilots instead of Ice Road Truckers. :roll:

In unrelated news, Russia is working on developing a new, futuristic weapon... darts.

No news on why. 8O
