Airlander 10 has Arrived!
At long last, Airlander 10 is out and about, ready for takeoff. It felt like Brexit woes might have slowed things down, but the political shock has passed, and the sky didn't fall...
Interesting how all these world changing events seems to happen around the same time. I think the explanation for this phenomenon lay in understanding the intricacies of fractal geometry; The cause and effect nature of reality.
Perhaps, in that sense Airlanders rise is symbolic for Brexit. The Airlander 10 takes to the skies with new capabilities, definitively it is a vehicle that can solve the problems of world hunger. What if Brexit is a manifestation on that same token? It was fundamentally after all, a question of freedom that was the deciding factor in the vote.
In areas of the world where rebel groups or petty dictators are committing ethnic cleansing by starving a seb set of people, doctors without borders or other altruistic groups can't help those people in need because the government wont let them in, or the rebels will kill them if they try to help.
The Airship allows for a certain level of anarchistic mobility. That is to say, it's a self contained system for supporting people in a country that it isn't allowed to be in. Troops armed with anything less then truck mounted fifty caliber machine guns will be able to do little to stop it. Even then, the Hybrids are highly durable.
Think about Johnny Quest the cartoon where the main hero would fly around on a jet that could land anywhere. The Hybrid Airship allows you to do that in real life, not in the fiction of a cartoon.
In a sense, the Airship is the ultimate underground railroad for a peaceful world wide revolution in libertarian expression. The more I think about it the more I am confident that the British very well may be leading the charge of spreading freedom on the backs of Hybrid Airships like Airlander to all the petty dictatorships of the world.
If the government shoots them down, most likely the crew will survive, and the government that shot them will look horrible in the eyes of the international community. It's basically a way that a nation can peacefully Harass bad actor nation, essentially, Strategic Airship Harassment also know as the Gandhi way.
I'm feel a very high degree of confidence in saying this, but it is my belief that in the next 30 years the Britsh will have a cultural renaissance in libertarian ideology that, barring some major catastrophe (like a Hindenburg 2,) will muster a massive Armada of Airships that will rival the fleets of British yesteryear. Like during the age of sail, or the industrial revolution.
Maybe I am being overly optimistic, but if my theory about the fractal nature of reality holds true... we will see Britain rise again as a world empire, but this time it will be a peaceful empire of the clouds, not a tyrannical empire of the sea.
We will see, but if I'm right, Britain is going to be a powerhouse of job creation in the coming years. Just as it was in the industrial revolution. The EU will look like it's stuck in the stone age by comparison, and changes to the nature of the eurozone itself will be an outright necessity at that point, as the contrast between the UK in the EU and the UK out of the EU will be so vast that the political elites in Brussels will be seen as complete failures in the eyes of the public making change inevitable.
Time will tell, but things are looking up.
