The Second Age of Airships

The Telegraph has a story about a new generation of airships. It says "It's a new vehicle. It's a hybrid because we're combining helium lift, aerodynamic lift, a hovercraft landing system, and vectored thrust... If you can get beyond the word airship — because that has a lot of history — people think about them differently."

    At the risk of being modded offtopic, I'll explain this Final Fantasy. In short, the development studio Squaresoft was going under, and they finished one last game, figuring that it would be their final foray into living their dream (or "fantasy") of game development. Well, it was a smash hit, and 23 years later, the franchise is still going strong. I'm sure that Wikipedia can tell you a lot more, but that's the story in a nutshell.
