titanic gawker submersible still missing.

[Anomalocaris]

Oceangate, the company that operated the imploded titanic gawking submersible, apparently posted an advertisement on company website for an “immediate opening” for a submersible pilot last friday.   The previous pilot is confirmed that very same day to have died several days before.

I remember stories from submariners saying they stretch a string from bulkhead to bulkhead and watch it slacken when reaching depth.

yes, when a submarine goes deeper, the greater water pressure compress the pressure hull noticeably and actually causes the submarine’s volume and therefore displacement to decrease by a significant amount. since the submarine’s mass hasn’t changed, the submarine’s buoyancy become more negative. Conscious compensation with ballast and trim tanks is required.

The cofounder of Oceangate, the operator of the submersible that imploded because in extreme environments “safety is just pure waste”, is now talking about sending 40 people to the surface of venus.

it is true the 100 atmophere pressure on the surface of venus is a pittance compare to the 400 atmophere pressure at the bottom of the atlantic. but the lead melting temperature might prove to be a minor inconvenience.

Oh, FFS!  Not even NASA is considering a manned mission to Venus.

It would get the world's record for "greatest distance travelled by a consumer video-game controller," though.

Good luck rounding up bidness. Not sure I'd trust this guy to Uber me to South Austin.

There's nowhere tourists won't go. You may not believe this, but some people spend their holidays in Liverpool. Voluntarily.
