Zeppelins Over California
It seems that Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow may not have been completely off the mark. According to the Industry Standard, Airship Ventures has raised capital sufficient to build their first Zeppelin NT (Microsoft Windows reference purely coincidental). The airship will offer rides for up to 12 passengers out of the old Navy Blimp hangars at Moffett Field in Silicon Valley. Airship Ventures notes that airships are already flying safely in Japan and Germany, so now the US will have its chance. Rides will cost from $250 to $500 per person. Esther Dyson is one of the investors. http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?f.../05/11/0145223
