Not to mention for safety reasons these ships would need to use helium and we kind of need to preserve as much of that as we can. It's a non-renewable resource and we need it for lots of science and tech purposes. The fact we still use it for balloons and shit it's mind boggling.
I keep forgetting they actually existed already
fun fact: there are only 25 of them in the whole planet, most of them used for advertising
there are like dozens of reasons why we got rid of them in the first place.
They are expensive, dangerous, not particularly efficient or fast, and tbh i'll be fine without a 100 meters long amazon Ad in the sky.
