Another good reason to use hydrogen instead of helium as a lifting gas for
an balloon is that helium permeates through the thin wall at a higher rate.
It's a pain to refill the balloon as often with such a rare and expensive
commodity. When you're finished using the hydrogen filled balloon, shoot it
with a flaming arrow from a strong hunting bow. It makes an impressive
fireball.
