All right, well, let's get a little more specific about what a zeppelin is.
It's basically a fabric-covered metal framework of transverse rings and longitudinal girders, kind of like a big metal rib cage.
And inside are a number of bladders filled with either hydrogen or helium gas because those are both significantly lighter than air.
However, only one of those gases is also highly flammable.
And which one is that?
Well, let's just say there's a reason we don't give kids hydrogen balloons at parties.
So at first, Germany used Zeppelins as bombers and scouting craft during World War I, as I mentioned before, and they were surprisingly effective, but not everyone was buying the Zeppelin hype.
One very early hater was Orville Wright.
In 1909, the New York Times ran an article titled, Wright Sees No Hope in Zeppelin Airship.
And I mean, come on, he's the inventor of the airplane.
Of course, he's going to shit on arrival.
Air travel, right?
