In a letter to his king, Zeppelin referred, particularly, to the possibilities of the military use of this technology. A meeting with the military authorities, following on it, did not bring good results for it. The authorities over-estimated the problem of air resistance as substantially higher than it really was.

The ability to reason and reflect, although universal, acts as an explanation for individuality. All reason and reflection is based on personal experience and reference.
