I seem to remember most all the articles about how airships are on the verge of becoming practical again -- in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s... Don't get me wrong, I think airships are neat, it's just after seeing this promise unfulfilled so many times, I just doubt that it will happen.

This sort of article was exactly what was printed decade after decade -- company X has an airship prototype and will test it shortly but either they never get one aloft, or it gets damaged in a storm and they run out of funding to build another.
