But, they weren't exploring
The Titanic wreck was already explored
They were literally just gawping at the deep sea
Technically the puzzle was solved because all the sides became a single side in the implosion
They sure explored new ways to die in the amazon basics sub.
Lmao touring an icecream factory gonna call myself an explorer of flavor
The Deepsea Challenger that took James Cameron to the bottom of the Marianas Trench cost $10 million
The titan costed $350k
They were cutting costs lol
Hey my life is on the line here, let's cut more corners.
I am glad they are dead. If they had succeeded some other people would die trying the same stunt with one of these botched submarines. At least this time it happened to the right people.
It could have been the port hole that was only rated at half the depth they were taking it. When the company that manufactured it found out how deep they were going they wanted to make a new one that was safe for that depth and the CEO said no.
Would’ve meant a much larger vessel to have the same already cramped space inside. Most of the bulk in a traditional DSV is actually flotation to counteract the weight of the little passenger sphere.
they'll explore the rest of the ocean from inside a bottom feeders intestine instead of a tin can
Name a better use for a billionaire than feeding some cool fish
Exploring the reasons why carbon fiber bonded to titanium is an absolutely fucking illiterate engineering choice.
“He’s not a explorer, He was a explorer because he was imploded? I like people who weren’t imploded.”
r/titanic is full of people like him. Lots of obsessive misery-hobbyists getting pissed at submarine memes. But what do you expect from people who treat a one-off maritime accident like it was the literal holocaust lol.
That's fucking rich coming from a mother fucker named Richard Allen Garriott de Cayeux who's claim to fame is being a fucking space tourist! The only reason I wouldn't call him a daredevil is because he went up in a Soyuz, the safest method of going to space yet devised!
Explorers
Imploders
wealthy daredevils
dumbass tourists
