The problem is that pretty much all new successes are pie in the sky stupidity until suddenly they aren't.

If that was not the case then science would not move in surges like it does.
One company/man/country does something that everybody else thought was stupid/impossible, and then everybody piles in once it works.

Think iPhone.

Think going to space.

Think aeroplanes.

p.s. Which particular law of physics does airlander conflict with?

p.p.s Can't believe I forgot the jet engine!!! It was "totally unrealistic"
