Google Co-Founder Sergey Brin Builiding $150 Million Blimp
We first caught wind of Google co-founder Sergey Brin’s desire to build a
massive airship back in 2017, but few details on the project have emerged since. That changed with the publication of a new
Telegraph story on Sunday....
At 656 feet in length, the massive craft is expected to be the largest of its kind in the world upon completion, and it’s reportedly costing Brin upwards of
$150 million to construct...As for why Brin wants to build this massive blimp, sources with knowledge of the project
told The Guardian in 2017 that the Google billionaire plans to use craft as an intercontinental “air yacht,” ferrying his friends and family around the globe in style.The blimp will also find use on the other end of the privilege spectrum, according to those sources, who told the newspaper that Brin envisions using it to deliver supplies and food to remote locations on humanitarian missions.

Unfortunately the Telegraph story is subscriber only--perhaps someone here can quote some relevant details?
