I'm surprised Our Lord and Saviour Elon hasn't jumped onboard with some outlandish rescue scheme. The sub team tweeted out their thanks to starlink for keeping comms open just before they launched, so he is tangentially in the orbit of another failure. |

That sub looks like they used the cheapest part they could find for every single aspect of sending people 4 fucking miles under water. I'm guessing there's just no regulation for this kind of thing.

Just incredible they'd design something like that without a failsafe of some sort. Locked from the outside for heavens sake

Hey everyone (with money) be an astronaut! Be a scientist! Be part of history!
Just ignore the part with the metal tank built with scraps from ebay and us getting money for people taking pictures of a mass grave.
In their defence they've made it very clear you could die. It's almost a non story. Suppose the countdown clock and it being the titanic gives it traction

You pay $250,000 and have to do scientific work as well? Do you have to take notes with your writing paper on another passengers back or what?

You get to see things that human eyes have never seen before, apart from all the people who died on it

Visiting a WWII submarine that's docked on the surface felt rather too small for me, sod paying $250K to get in a tin can and visit a grave site.

I wonder if they took a bucket to shit in? Imagine you've spent years saving 250K. You step into the sub, and there's mowgli sitting on a chair. |

Is it OK to joke about rich people dying? I think it is

When I read "directed by text message" my mind went to some Twitch Plays Pokemon type bullshit... Apparently it worked about as well as that, too  |

I view this as very rich people have paid to do a very stupid and dangerous thing. Therefore jokes acceptable at an early stage. Bit like when a lion eats one of those arseholes that pay to hunt them |

There is almost no chance they are going to be found alive right? Pitch dark, terrible conditions. Needle in a haystack job.

2.5 miles under the ocean probably the last place you want to go missing

If they ain’t going to get found I hope to fuck they are dead already. No one deserves that regardless of how they ended up there.
