I took cool pictures of the Titanic underwater... I know what I’m talking about.
What an idiot.
Actually, and I am not trying to be difficult here, he DOES know what he is doing with deep water submersibles. As an engineer, he has pretty decent experience with this stuff.
That said, he also admitted that the robotics he’s worked with are different than the ones being used in the gulf—so mixing them would be a clash of robotic operations.
I thought talking to him was stupid at first. After doing some research, I found out that he really does know what he’s doing.
I took the news as when a press agent announces that “they” are making a remake of a movie like Russ Meyer’s Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!” and getting Tarentino to direct and Britney Spears to star. It’s just to get some celebs name in print until their next gig.
