Just one gem from the blimp discussion: "it’s so dissapointing to see that some people just don’t ever want to give the chance for the imagination to take over realism. I love this project.

Amazing work guys." True dat... realism is the LAST thing we need when discussing future transportation. Man, the comments on that site are startling. Just one gem from the blimp discussion:
