That's a wonderful idea.

Chuck will ask.

So, yeah, I mean, it was expensive, but it was also very new, right?

So you can imagine, I mean, luxury ocean liners have been doing this for a very long time.

By the time they reached that cost of about $5,000 for a luxury liner.

So you can imagine that, like, the Zeppelin company had their eye on bringing costs down eventually so that more people could afford it.

But in the meantime, to start, I mean, that's kind of what you do.

You attract everyone's attention by...

Getting the richest, most famous, most powerful people to come fly on your friendly skies and then newspapers write about it like, oh, my gosh, did you see Mrs. Astor 800 feet up hanging from the outside of the Hindenburg?

It was amazing.

You could see right up her dress.

That's what newspapers want to write about, you know, and so that's what they were doing.

That was amazing.

Yeah, there was a helium act of 1925 that I never heard of that the U.S.

is like, this is a natural resource that we really need.

So we're just going to keep it all to ourselves.

No, we definitely talked about it because there was a shortage and it was all, everybody was really worried about it going away.

And then all of a sudden we found a huge new vein of it in the United States and now there's no problem with helium anymore.

Stuff like that makes me feel like we're definitely in a simulation sometimes.

You know, it happens a lot.
