It’s odd that they quote us a transcript that tells us of the safety of the viewport in meters and then tell us the depth of the Titanic in feet. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jun 20, 22:21
It sounds like this thing is only a step or two above the guy who tried to launch himself into space on a homemade rocket. -- nm - TWuG Jun 20, 17:17 4
- it's literally home made. -- nm - loosilu Jun 20, 17:25
- It's being made to sound that way, but I'm not convinced that's entirely accurate. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 20, 17:18 2
  - I've seen pictures and the pressure vessel looks well designed, but that's a minimum requirement -- nm - TWuG Jun 20, 17:20 1
    - Agreed about design. I think the capsule itself is well designed. The controls, not sure. -- nm - loosilu Jun 20, 17:26
is this the 1st voyage of this thing? -- nm - Remlik Jun 20, 17:08 8
- It did multiple descents and successfully reached Titanic about 20% of the time. That means many malfunctions. - loosilu Jun 20, 17:30 1
  - One of the missing passengers is the 19 year old son of another passenger - Beryllium Jun 20, 17:36
- Nope. I posted earlier about Mike Reiss, writer for The Simpsons, going on a trip down in it. He re-released his podcast episode about it. -- (link) - Krusty Jun 20, 17:14 [Backboard] 4
  - Seriously people, listen to his podcast. It's really fun. -- nm - Krusty Jun 20, 17:14 3
    - Does he sound like Moe's Syzlack the bartender or the comic book dealer? -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 20, 17:22 2
      - I wish! He sounds like a Jewish guy from the Northeast. -- nm - Krusty Jun 20, 17:37
      - I believe you are referring to the character commonly known as Comic Book Guy. -- nm - Comic Book Guy si Jun 20, 17:25
- From my understanding, no, not by a long shot -- nm* - Beryllium Jun 20, 17:10
