I’ve been hearing communication between the submersable and the ship has been an ongoing issue.

I’m no engineer by any stretch but you’d think there would be a contingency plan in place in case of this very scenario like a self contained way for the submersible to asend back to the surface in case of emergency.

I hope it turns out well but it dolook good at all.

Military jets have ejection seats as a last resort for a reason.

Most people have no idea that exploring the ocean depths is literally more challenging and extreme than going into space, by an order of magnitude.

Man landed on the moon in 1969. Man, for the first time, dived to the ocean floor in 2019, take a moment to consider that!

They are required to have that capability. Upon catastrophic failure, those are too little too late. The bubbles don't reach the surface.
