That's great.... I mean except for Major Khaaan.

But wasn't it here that I read about the shortage of helium. To the point it was considered to ban helium balloon for Christmas and New year to keep the helium for some medical usage.

I dont want to hinder your enthusiasm.. I mean who doesnt want to send a SNAIL to Fucking SPACE.... But some people may be offended if their grandma died cause of a lack of helium somewhere.

(Edit :

    Helium is a non-renewable gas that is used to cool magnets in MRI scanners in hospitals. It is also mixed with oxygen to make breathing easier for ill patients and can help save new-born babies’ lives.

Search Helium on Reddit, despite the bad search engine the posts are mostly on topic and kind of alarming
