I saw video where Rush had Handles screwed to the top and Monitors screwed to the sides of the inside so how far do the screws go into the carbon fiber ?

Several men have journeyed into Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench (36,000 ft below Pacific Ocean sea level). One Challenger Deep explorer was Hamish Harding, who perished in the Titan catastrophe.

Good question.
I also do not see a metal liner inside the tube in any of the pictures......................not that it would have done much good...............

Small subs were never made to go that deep.Research subs can go that deep but they are fabulously expensive, painstakingly engineered, and carefully monitored and maintained. They are not designed for sightseeing tourists.

But at least he didn’t have any of those uninspiring 50-year old White Men in his company ...

Any manual mechanism would require a cable or control rod transiting through the hull. Not ideal.

It is a backup system in case the primary electronic weight control system fails. The tethers that hold the weights in place dissolve in ocean water after 24 hours and drop the weights.
I don’t know how you could possibly improvise on the ocean floor and use “hydraulics” to drop the weights.

Several vessels have successfully traveled to and from Challenger Deep ... All feature a spherical metal pressure hull.

If that’s the best technology they could come up with they had no business doing what were doing.......good thing there weren’t any 50 year old White guys involved.

Not really. The rest of the industry doesn’t do what Srockton Rush did.

You can make subs that are designed well and go down that far. You don’t make them like this guy did.

And this was not a submarine. It was a submersible. It requires a support ship to get it to location, launch it, monitor it, and get it out of the water. It doesn’t have the same autonomy, range and maneuverability as a submarine.

the proper design Developed by those nasty, uninspiring 50-year old White Men.
Except the Chinese boat ... That was developed by uninspiring 50-year old Yellow Men.
Significantly, none of them were developed by inspiring teeny-boppers managed by a nut who thinks the best response to "paralysis by safety" is "WTF? Throw caution to the wind!"
