Cheap helium gas for up, up and away

Did you know that airships like blimps used to be filled with hydrogen rather than helium? But as the Hindenberg disaster tragically demonstrated, non-flammable helium is a much better option for beating the effects of gravity and floating serenely above the ground. But you would need thousands of balloons to lift yourself into the air while sitting in a chair.
