ooh, can we get Bezos and Musk on this one?
108 0 ReplyNot yet. The submarine should do 2-3 tours before we get musk and Bezos in, since then its more likely to break.
22 0 ReplyNice, lull the billionaires into a false sense of security....then squish!

All the cool billionaires will do it.
Just saying.

I wouldn't complain about this becoming an annual tradition.

35 0 ReplyTbh this seems like a much more serious and well prepared expedition. They seem to have an actual submarine instead of a Logitech controlled balloon

Sounds like this sinkhole is a non-trivial dive, but depth-wise it's only 200 meters. Pressure vessel engineering should not be the limiting factor. Also, for whatever reason, this guy left OceanGate in 2013.
30 0 ReplyIf they use CF composites again, it doesn’t matter. They have a limited lifespan and will eventually fail from the load cycles of diving and coming back up.
Which is why nobody else uses CF in pressure hulls. It’s a ticking time bomb with no way to properly validate integrity.
10 0 ReplyThey won't. They will use two Triton submersibles, the market leader that builds submersibles for a long time. They are not going to build their own fever dream.
Not to mention the Expedition leader left Ocean gate over 10 years ago.
This is not interesting at all and is click bait that shouldn't even make the news section.

That's a bit different depth than the Titanic at 12K feet.

What can we do to get this guy to design SpaceX's Mars capsule and then put Elon on it?
22 0 ReplyOkay, so. How much trouble would we get in if he bought Trump and a couple others a trip with a gofundme?
Or do you think the secret service would stop him?
20 0 ReplyTrump too small to fit in one of these.
15 0 ReplyLivestream it this time. We can record it and watch an implosion in slo-mo.
21 6 ReplyYou ok? It might be time to take a break; do the whole grass touchy thing. Take a deep breath even.
21 9 ReplyMaybe it's the arrogant billionaires who need to touch some plant life before they destroy them with their greedy selfish plundering of the planet?
16 2 ReplyHow deep does grass grow?

13 0 ReplyOkay guys, maybe the is a contradiction in capitalism that make it collapse. It just append to be toxic masculinity
11 0 ReplyI don’t think he’s anywhere near finished carving the submersible
6 0 ReplyAre they still using COPV’s? The engineer in me needs to know.
5 0 ReplyNot the wisest idea.
