Seriously, airships would be nice, but you would definitely need Helium for it. Not that Helium is scarce in the universe, but it is on earth. AFAIK there is only one natural source in te whole world, in the US, and it is exhausted.
If we found a way to capture enough of it in space, and bring it back to earth ...
Or we could of course use hydrogenium, and maybe it would even work with today's technology, without becoming hazardous.
And the bovine nation would be much more happy ..
