FWIW the Hindenberg problem had nothing to do with the hydrogen, it
was the rocket fuel they unknowingly painted it with. Engineering said
no, hasn't been safety tested, but the owners overruled them.

I didn't know that. I always though the various airship disasters were
all caused by the hydrogen burning explosively.

Well its a bit like sdaying 'teh reason te cannon went off is the fuse
was lit'

yest the dope was inflammable. But so too was the hydrogen, The dope may
have been whatr caught initially but the ship didnt stay up with gas
bags intact did it?

Neither did challenger have a doped linen tank.

Thats pretty much what a hydrogen tank going up looks like

its much easier to start a fire with hydrogen than diesel although its
harder to detonate a fuel air mixture

But the hyrogen as trswnport fuel is just more unicorn farts really. It
makes no sense other than as a virtue signalling piece of obscure technology
