I can't get the website to load now (they may be experiencing a bit more traffic than their wordpress site was intended to handle) but iirc the marketing material said the gull wings are for lighting/camera attachment, helping it glide around without having to engage the thrusters too much, and having some thrusters mounted further from the bottom (and thus further from the sea floor). It does look like a proper explorer's vehicle.    https://supremarine.com/post/triton-13000-2-titanic-explorer-submarine

That DICK! posted:its wild thinking about being a billionaire and how on the surface you had enough money to buy small countries and build gundams and have sex with 2 chicks at the same time, but for 90 hours until you die you just gotta sit in the fart vapors thinking about how all that money holds no value at the bank of davy jones. this didnt happen, they instantly imploded into nickelodean gak, but its fun to think about This is why they all do the life extension stuff. They live their whole lives believing they are truly exceptional and above all the plebs. Then one day, while sipping a scotch on the deck of their yacht, they realize that they are going to die one day, just like that Philippino lady that delivered their drink 10min ago. In fact, she spends all day on her feet, she might even live longer. But how?? She's poor? I'm above her, shouldn't I be entitled to experience more life than her? I must use my hoarded wealth to live longer. I know a few rich people through work and friends, and it's hilarious how predictable this stage is. One guy is worth 50+m, the other guy is "only" worth a few million. The second they start nearing 40, with all their other needs met, they start panicking and spending heavily on personal trainers, dieticians, IV infusions of who fuckin knows what.

GreenBuckanneer posted:If I recall correctly, the ceo said the window would compress down to either a 3/4 of an inch or to three inches, I forget what he said on video. Either way, not great. Even the challenger, which went to 35k feet, shrunk a little due to pressure. They had to use a special kind of foam with glass beads for the hull, because steel deforms and even titanium itself does. You need to make a titanium graphite alloy to overcome that, and it seems like it was just titanium It's kinda amusing that it so hard to pin down which of the system failed because pretty much all of were so half-assed that any of them could have failed.

eviltastic posted:The company that made those is also marketing a submersible that they call the Titanic Explorer because it can supposedly do that. No apparent public price, unless you count a rando unsourced Daily Mail headline. But presumably it costs less than the one owned by Gabe Newell that's rated for ten thousand feet below the deepest point that exists in the ocean. This thing looks like it's from GI JOE. Is something this cool really allowed to exist in our lovely reality?

The CEO could have made proper explorer subs for a few million more and charged $300,000 a ticket instead of $250,000 and nobody would have cared at that price point.
