I'd do that

I'd do that.

Maybe I could be a pilot. I've already flown the Goodyear Blimp.

Say, do you like gladiator movies?

that sounds great. I imagine it will be expensive though.

It's pretty but it does not appear to have any method of steering. And being able to only rise to 12,000 feet is going to mean being unable to fly above weather making for some very nice airsick bag usage.

Being in a bag of hydrogen over the middle of the Atlantic in an electrical storm would be quite a thrill.

But it's very pretty.

If it can move at 90mph I would assume it also has some type of vectoring for the drive exhaust (assumed since I don't see an propellers) that would allow steering.

Hydrogen as a medium for lift has a bad rap. While it burns quite energetically when mixed with air, you could climb up into the hydrogen envelope and have a smoke without causing any problems (other than your own suffocation and the cigarette/match refusing to light).

I was going to book a passage, but you've put me off now.

Out of my price range at the current moment I'm sure!

But I'll agree with Alex, it's very pretty.
