Y'all love this "whitey" political angle, but what makes that comment so stupid is that the company was comprised entirely of a group of 50s year old white guys. They were still reckless idiots.

Normally I would agree. However, this is a commercial passenger vehicle. Redundancy is required across many areas in commercial flight so why not in commercial submersible vehicles?

pretty sure they circumnavigate a lot of regs because of where they conduct business, they've obviously found loopholes

Which is why I’m nit anti-legislation in this case.

Why did we make it to the bottom of the challenger deep almost a decade before we orbited the moon, with a miniscule fraction of the budget? Literally 2.5 million in today's cost for Trieste.

yep, this is definitely an at your own risk type of excursion

Because cooperating with gravity is easier than fighting it.

Which would make designing a safe sub much easier than designing a safe rocket ship. Thanks for underscoring my point. A nice slow sink is way less stressful than the pogo oscillation of 34,500 kN of thrust.

So have we had any updates today?
I read through a bunch of pages and it seems like the same things are just being repeated for like the last 25 pages

Like giving "customers" a crash course on operating the sub so that they can technically call them "crew members" in order to get around some of those pesky commercial operation laws?

No meaningful updates.
Eta: don't expect any. That thing and it's occupants are gone.

Are we now having a pissing contest over whether rocket scientists or submarine engineers are smarter?

Are you thinking it will never be found or just not in the near future. When oxygen supply technically runs out will they stop looking or that would not be good pr?

NASA helped design this piece of shite death trap so its kind of a stalemate

the first time I ever toured a WWII sub after learning how to fly I thought "this is nothing but an underwater 727, systems were very similar

No updates and a dick swinging contest. Why am I not surprised?

It imploded and is scattered around the seabed in mostly tiny little pieces.
