Heliun is not renewable. We cant took heliun from atmosphere, since technology can't do that. Heliun is extrated from methane mines, and those mines will not last for more than 30 years.

I can call 911 and tell them that my son is up there! I don't think this idea would fly, literally. Too unsightly

I love all the haters that immediately jump on the "It won't work!!!" bandwagon. At least they are trying to think of new and innovative ideas to benefit mankind. What are you haters doing besides being cynical quitters???

Use hydrogen instead of helium -- a tiny fraction of the price, double the buoyancy and there's no reason that modern technology can't keep it from going Hindenburg on us.

And in fact it wouldn't be a major problem if it did. There would be no people in it, plus if it was built so that there was minimal damage to the other components, they could be reused.
Hydrogen burns very quickly, therefore damage would be minimal.

that's taking them at trier word. and again helium isn't cheap and we know of no substance able to hold it that is relatively light.
