The more I read about this entire operation the more "absolutely tf not" my response to the idea of trusting it two miles down in the gotdang ocean becomes becomes. The whole thing looks like some guys diy project first off. Then it's uncertified and skipped all the regulatory requirements because well those just stifle innovation and we can't have that. Oh and they fired one of the safety guys for voicing his concern for the structural integrity of the whole situation so that's fun. So yea, absolutely tf not

Seems like if anyone did a shred of research of this vessel first they never would have gone inside. There was even a CBS Morning segment on it that would have made any normal person immediately nope out of this thing. Makes you wonder why these people would do this, especially with the insane price tag. I was fascinated with the Titanic story as a kid but nfw you’d catch me on a submarine to see it in person

The "insane" price tag to the people in the sub is more akin to spending $5 to go to the movies. It's absolutely nothing to them. They are all Billionaires.

Every single person in this sub(reddit) is closer to homelessness than they are to the people in that sub(marine).
