Oh, for cryin' out loud!! If they are just going to be throwing money away like that, LET ME HAVE IT! Bigfoot indeed! What a foolish way to spend money.

But there is NO SUCH THING as Bigfoot. Jeez, I thought this nonsense had been put to bed YEARS ago.

Lets start with you can not prove a negative. Then go and read about what the Europeans had to say about Australian species such as the duck billed platypus.
However I think it is someone with big feet and a great sense of humor.

Actually, you can easily prove a negative, it's just a fallacy to suppose that you could not: http://www.skeptic.com/eskeptic/07-12-05/#feature
This blimp could prove to be a very valuable research tool, especially if they can unbound the line-of-sight restriction and send it on long distance, large duration searches, and even search & rescue missions. It should be no less feasible than operating Mars Explorer robots, for example. It would be less likely to be shot down if it had "SEARCH AND RESCUE" painted on the side; back in the day real dirigibles were too tempting targets & were regularly shot up.
They should get another one of these set up over Loch Ness!

The tech will be useful in other research. This particular search will be fruitless.

It's annoying that airship research is in any way associated with something as out there as 'bigfoot'.
How is it in all these many decades that bigfoot males and females somehow found each other and were able to propagate, but we still have not found ANY genetic material—hair or scat—just bigfoot impressions and absurd grainy photos?

I hope they find the ape, also I hope they don't get shot down when they fly over the hidden marijuana fields up there in the wilderness.

Its certainly a possibility that it could exist, there are lots of large areas with no people living in it, and so many sightings that i think there is compelling evidence available that its aleast possible, however no proper evidence to show that it really is true.
Its alot of times easy to try and shrug this sort of thing off because of poor quality of some of the evidence, or even worse the character qualities of some of the witnesses(some are quacks, or people you couldnt trust) but some of evidence of fair quality and some witnesses have no good reason to lie/fabricate stories. does that mean its true? of course not.
But i think we need to have an open mind.

They are not apes. Apes are not bipedal.

Bigfoot is B.S......
That said, WTF is with 3 to 4hrs for this airship's flight time? How about a week? 24/7 with night, thermal, etc., etc., etc. vision?
If this guy was serious about finding his hairy unicorn he'd be using much longer range technology (that's already out there in many forms).
Last, WHY is a donation to his project "tax-deductible"?!?
