Helium is much safer, so it is often used in balloons and blimps, not spacecraft.
Hydrogen is still used as a fuel. Helium will not burn.
There never were hydrogen powered airships. Hydrogen provided lift, not propulsion. Propulsion came from combustion engines using diesel or gasoline.
The periodic table has 18 groups ant 7 periods. Hydrogen and helium are considered members of the first period.
In a hydrogen bomb, hydrogen isotopes such as deuterium (2H) and tritium (3H) are fused together to form helium. The main reaction involves the fusion of deuterium and tritium nuclei to create a helium nucleus, along with a neutron and release of a large amount of energy.
Hydrogen, which has more lift per quantity- is too volatile and explosive- remember the HIndenberg! Helium is only practical lifting gas for modern dirigibiles. There were rumors the Navy synthesized something during World War II for blimp lifting gas but details are sketchy.
It isn't. Hot air Ballons use Hot Air. Hot air being lighter and therefore less dense than normal air allow the balloon to float.
The element is used to absorb heat in a spacecraft is helium. There are modern technologies that are being developed for the same purpose.
There never were hydrogen powered airships. Hydrogen provided lift, not propulsion. Propulsion came from combustion engines using diesel or gasoline.
The Big Bang leads to huge clouds of hydrogen and helium, which eventually condense into galaxies.

The Hindenburg was a Zeppelin (a German made lighter-than-air airship), similar to a modern day blimp. It was filled with hydrogen gas that gave it enough lift to allow it to get off the ground. Modern day blimps & balloons use helium gas. Helium has less lift capacity than Hydrogen, however it is not flammable. Hydrogen is flammable.
It was hydrogen. That's why it caught fire. Modern airships use helium.

It is called hydrogen
The purpose of Helium gas in any airship, including modern airships, is to reduce the overall density and thus provide "lift."
yes
It isn't. Hot air Ballons use Hot Air. Hot air being lighter and therefore less dense than normal air allow the balloon to float.
