I am also perplexed why they chose to use a stopper know as the means of securing the line to the airship. These seam line the most likely to fail. Using a loop would be much more secure.

Relevant Q&A response. Thankfully, this means that teams using very small diameters of rope can just completely ignore trying to use a stopper knot and just use a loop or a splice.
