I wonder, if at the time when they were making this carbon fiber and titanium contraption they gave it some thought that at the depth they were planning to deploy this “Sub” the pressure on the hull would be pretty equivalent to approximately thirty-five (35) elephants piling on top of it. if it had been HY-100 special steel and about 2 inches thick I would have said maybe, still I would not have gotten into it. But I guess hey found out, perhaps a lesson for anyone else who may try a similar adventure.

60+ uninspired white guy here. The pressure on the hull would have been around 4500 psi. any leak would have cut in half anything it hit.

It bothers me this guy didnt want to be bothered every 30 minutes with having to update the surface with progress reports.

It was also mentioned a 5 knot current would put them over 5 miles away PER HOUR! if they lost the ability to maneuver. and what about the auto release ballast that was supposed to drop after 24 hours?

Im not saying they are dead yet, but they're very dead.
