I just don't get how someone can look inside and see that lone monitor, how cramped the space is, that sad excuse of a "toilet", Logitech controller, and say, "Yeah this is going to be great". Especially at that price, fuck that.

I literally just played this on the PS4 and got the same experience without the dying.

Not sure why on Earth they'd want a wireless gamepad. I used to sell that same gamepad when I worked at the computer store and it runs off AA batteries and the old 2.4ghz radio frequency wireless. It's silly enough that they're using a video game controller to begin with but you'd think you'd want to eliminate the possibility of running out of batteries or some kind of connectivity issue at the bottom of the fuckin' ocean.

Hey speaking of Earth how much does this cost and what safety issues will come about from this? This is starting very soon evidently like next week.

Virgin Galactic will launch its 1st commercial spaceflight on June 27
And the second one will fly in early August, if all goes according to plan.

At the very least the spacecraft doesn't look like something a member of this forum built in their fuckin' garage like this "submarine"Hey speaking of Earth how much does this cost and what safety issues will come about from this? This is starting very soon evidently like next week.

I'd love to do that some day. Bezos does something similar with his company, Blue Origin. He took up William Shatner last year if I recall. I think right now, the prices are astronomical to go, as in hundreds of thousands per flight. So only for the uber rich. But you'd think that eventually flights would be reasonable. Hopefully it's something I can do before I die.

I just wish when people did stupid shit like this or mountain climbing, volcano exploring, cave diving etc. and it inevitably goes wrong that we wouldn't send out huge rescue missions. Screw wasting colossal amounts of time, money and risking more lives to try and save these fucking idiots.

I don't get all the intrigue about the Titantic to begin with. It's a bigass boat that sank a long time ago. So what? Why is that so interesting? There's not even any pirate gold on it.

It's below average in size by today standard, apparently you could fit the entire thing on the flight deck of the Gerald Ford with room to spare. The biggest ship to ever sail was the SeaWise Giant

interesting clip. he didn't wanna hire experienced submariners because they were 50+ year old white men that wouldn't be inspiring.
edit: watched the rest of the video. lol, the ceo guy decided to remove voice comms for just a "data acoustic modem" because he hated having his diving experience interrupted by staff on top side.

I mean...at a depth of any consequence, what would it really matter where the bolts are on the hatch though? They could plan to weld them in and cut them out with an angle grinder each ride and I'd say their chances of getting out of that alive would probably be equal to attempting a free ascent from 4000m.
Precisely zero.
