please use hydrogen and not helium if you do this.

Helium is a precious, essential, non-renewable resource that the world is actually running out of.

    Now I'm just imagining them coming back down, combusting, and people thinking the war of Armageddon has begun.

    Is this why I can't just go to the party store and buy hydrogen filled balloons?

    That's something I find funny. The second most abundant element in the universe and we're running out of our supply.

    Because we don't have spaceships to go out into the universe to collect it, so all we have is what has been trapped in deposits underground.

    and a lot of it has been wasted on stupid shit like party balloons, and the overwhelming majority of the population does not understand how critically important helium is to manufacturing and medicine.
