"Not sure I can but I'll offer. The time investment is my main concern as I have lots going on and a long-delayed commitment to Nicole Ross that needs finished. My questions would be these: How long is your work? What is…"

"yes, but you didn't specify 'that' kind of airships... you mentioned airships in general.. it seems as though people are trying to be helpful..."

"Of course that kind of airship is a far cry from say something like this"

"I love airships. to me, ever since I was little. Seeing them inspires somthing that modern jets and airplanes don't. To me it inspires more than visions of victorian england. Speculative fiction didn't have rules that restrained the likes…"

"I guess that's where I don't understand... airships aren't fiction...

even if you…"
Xeno Gilder replied to Ettrick's discussion Inaccuracy for Accuracy
"Like a giant steel structure, or heavy wooden vessel, that type of flying ship. Not familiar with the history of helium filled Zeppelins. I would imagine they knew of some similar substance in the 18Th century. But yeah, that kind of airship.
