Popular Mechanics has gone Woke Stupid.
I can’t remember if it was Popular Mechanics or Popular Science that ran a ridiculous story on the Glomar Explorer when I was just a kid.
I thought it was a completely stupid story. I had no idea what it was for.
But it wasn’t going to be picking up “nitrogen nodules” - absolutely stupid.
I wonder if they thought that they were actually fooling anybody significant.
Much later we found out what that ship was really doing.
Which was a good idea.
But the “article” was ridiculous.
BTW it was an attempt to recover the Soviet K-129 sub (had to look up her hull number) and her nuclear missiles.
Which was a good idea 💡.
Did they fail? Well they claimed that they did.
