Or the dirigibles, at least.
A few years back, while sailing in the middle of the Atlantic aboard a tall ship, one of my watch-mates and I spun out an elaborate fantasy of bringing wind power back to the modern age. We imagined fleets of sail-powered supertankers on the sea, and a return of the dirigible in the sky. Staring out for hours at the midnight sea and stars, it seemed reasonable enough.
It's nice to think maybe it was.

that would be so peaceful, to float amoung the clouds.
It would greatly improve our collective mental health if getting there became part of the fun, rather than the misery airplane travel has become.
