I was thinking the same thing, but also with Bezos tagging along. We should encourage this trend, as long as they take some folks from Washington along for the ride too.
Sure are a bunch of smug bastards (bitches?) on here for a forum centered on an activity that most of the population would deem idiotically high-risk stupidity. Just sayin'...
3:00 PM? How is it that in this age of global internet news writers can't learn to include the time zone when they say what time something is happening?
I'll take the smug. It will go behind the "smart enough to not be bolted into a carbon fiber tube and tossed into the ocean."
Yeah, this is a stupid comparison. Taking a calculated risk and doing whatever the fuck these guys thought they were doing are two very different things. This is equivalent of doing that ninja bike ghost rider shit and then acting suprised when body parts start flying.
My opinion, they have to say there's a debris field. If they were found still whole, I think it would be a problem. People would be mad that they couldn't save them.
Unconfirmed, but a gentleman that knew 2 onboard, and is in contact with those on the search site has been told supposedly landing gear frame, and part of tail piece has been found on the ocean floor. Will post vid in YouTube thread. Take that as you will.
I know enough to stupid about operating at those depths.. So does that mean that pressures at those depths caused the vessel to come apart? Did it sink so fast that the landing damaged it when it hit the floor? Trying to understand if it was bolted or welded together how that equipment rose to the top
Some parts will be less dense than water and will float. That in and of itself won't tell you why it came apart but a pressure related failure seems pretty likely.
I was like what forum are we on for a second. Also, in terms of the rich, saying you went to space, went to see the Titanic just makes you have that "rizz" and can one-up the next super rich bozo/boza/boz
While you have to take the allegations leveled at the company in the lawsuit, as just allegations, the companies response was completely bewildering and would lead me to be inclined to believe the allegations were all true - till proven otherwise. There’s not a waiver you could sign and would probably need a Loyds policy for actual insurance on any work for that project, I’m astonished some of the suppliers even accepted contracts for that project.
