We're right under the flight path for the scheduled orbital launch, but don't worry--it's too cold out for the rockets to operate safely, so I'm sure they'll postpone.

Surprisingly, if you google "hydrogen airship revival", you will find that there are many companies trying to build airships.

Since the non-flammable helium has less lifting capacity and is non-renewable and expensive, they are trying to use hydrogen safely. Good luck...

I think you accidentally put helium twice in your second paragraph. Just wanted to let you know in case you want to fix it for readability.

Fixed. Appreciated.
