No, you just caught a whiff of whatever the PopMech editors smoke when
they write these articles! :>

I think they used the phrase 'laser cannons' at least five times... I
know
there are serious proposals for bringing back the rigid airship in
various
forms, including military, but PM is getting pretty goofy.

The fact that their cover story a year ago or so was 'The Equipment of
Star Wars Episode One" pretty much sunk my opinion of the mag to a new
low... 

That said, I like rigid airships, they're cool, and more power to the
ideas of bringing them back! Zepplin AGM in Germany is also back in the
zepplin business; I think they've got their 2nd zep flying now
