Sergey Brin's Secret Zeppelin
Reports about the Google co-founder’s dirigible project are a reminder that the romance of pre-aviation futurism is, somehow, still alive.
Being a billionaire means sometimes having a secret side-project big enough to necessitate an actual NASA hangar. That appears to be the case for the Google co-founder Sergey Brin, anyway.
