The tourism/cruise potential of the SkyCat is huge (no pun intended).

The Graf Zeppelin, filled with hydrogen, had a long and marvelous career without any major incidents. It was retired, and eventually scrapped to make airplanes. Because of its inconsiderate refusal to blow up in a gigantic fireball, maybe one person in fifty has ever heard of this airship.
