That was my problem earlier

@Kinnison @MrGoat
I'm not particularly extreme on this subject even though I was an early voice speaking up about Global Warming.
But considering that corporations like Shell only exist because there is demand for their dirty products and we as individuals create that demand, we need to reduce our need for such products by substituting some alternate source of energy to power the machines we desire so much.

@corlin
That is why you are one of the awesome folks on COSO.

@corlin
The question posits hydrogen in a balloon, not in some special circumstance.
It is possible to force helium into a molecule at millikelvin temps, but that is a special condition.

@corlin

A balloon full of Hydrogen is a balloon full of molecules.

A balloon full of helium is a balloon full of atoms.

@ProjectShadow

Hmmm... Not basic enough

What is the difference between a balloon full of Hydrogen and a balloon full of helium?

@scottyorange Another band I like.

@scottyorange
Only in the E Street band as far as I can tell

@mikeflstfi

IS all good!
A lot of my objections have to do with engineering philosophy and the term you used RUD.
People tend to ignore the U in that acronym and I prefer to take it literally.

@nevikjames

Maybe because they have never lost in London? Or they may be on a roll (improved play-wise)

It's a hard call either way really

@MLClark
Stross is always worth reading.

@mikeflstfi
That kind of landing would have killed the crew.

@jackdetate
Greetings to you from the bottom coast.

@mikeflstfi
Except for the part at the end where the ship crashed.

So it is a partial win.
