They would still have to contain hydrogen though. Making them rigid doesn't decrease fire risk.

They have bad PR for a reason. It's not prejudice it's practicality.

That hasn't stopped billionaires from building spaceships or submarines. All I'm saying is that we would absolutely see some weird eccentric billionaires building and riding in zeppelins if it weren't for the bad PR of the Hindenburg.
