  1. At his age, when men take less risks, with his money, fame, and a family to think about and he rolled the dice. That dive where the left side of the panel went red and he had to abort the dive, that would have given me nervous ticks to my dying days. Some of us, like Alex Honnold, are missing some of that primal fear to avoid danger. But he had the money to fund his enterprise and dotted as many tees as he could. In the end, like Alan Shepard, a man has to say "light this candle" (cut off the buoy and take the panel off too!) and history was made.

    This documentary opened my eyes to the fact that this world is still a big mystery to us. The deep ocean, as big as North America, remains unexplored. And just above sea level, the immense Amazonian basin also remains mostly unexplored by 21st century wo/man, holding secrets about humanity's origins and old civilizations. There is still room for modern Indys to go out there and explore.

  2. If it fails it will implode at hypersonic speed and I'll get chummed into a meat cloud in 2 microseconds.

    For anyone wondering what probably happened to oceangate passengers ..

  3. That interesting that they only pressure tested it to 16000 psi. That leaves no margin for error. The DSV Limiting Factor was tested to 20,000 psi to give it a 20% margin for error. 16,000 is basically bang on what it had to survive in the Mariana Trench.

  4. Interesting how Stockton Rush said that he was pushing the boundaries and innovating, and here we have the true innovator. No bragging. No cutting corners. Just passion and purpose. James Cameron
    The sub alone followed biomimicry. ❤

  5. The zeal and passion of one man and his leadership qualities keeping that bunch of enthusiasts on the cutting edge of the scientific perfection in a relentless pursuit culminates in the near perfect mission called Deepsea Challenge 3D. I am inspired to write a poem someday about this mission as my appreciation of the team's hard work and accomplishments. Any other form of description by mere words could be so shallow!

  6. Undoubtedly w beauty it’s also full w garbage and junk from mankind smh nothing fascinating about that at all !!!!

  7. Its so sad. The bottom of the ocean at that point is just dead. Motionless. Barely any dust moving about. The only thing moving is whatever was moved by the human interaction at that time. The sand of the sea floor possibly hasn't been moved like that for eons. Possibly since the world began. And it just sits there with no color. No sound. No light. No feeling.
