hellotoothpaste posted:That’s somehow more infuriating than the controller… and yes, it is loving weird to drive it with that controller because in every single video or photo I’ve seen, someone is waving it around (which makes the CBS anchor facepalm immediately). It’s loving wireless/USB, and not once will you see it actually wired. Which, can we speak about this?  You are adding more leverage to an already lovely control point, why? The detection is already poo poo for the given degree of motion and you are adding more?

I am genuinely trying to understand why these people were doing this... The window is clearly useless given they located it in front of the piss and poo poo storage pot, the wreckage is already extensively documented, at best they are viewing the wreckage on some small, Best Buy on-sale medium quality displays... They were paying to be in proximity to where a bunch of people died horribly over a century ago until it sunk to the sea floor? Why?

JerikTelorian posted:They lost contact an hour and 45 minutes into the dive on Sunday. The submersible doesn't have any onboard navigation at all, so once they were out of contact they were also off course. I think one of the most interesting military secrets that we know that exists but have no loving clue about it besides that it is certainly a capability that we have. There is another way of communicating with subs underwater, Extremely Low Frequency radio waves. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremely_low_frequency However, as far as we know, the US has decommissioned our ELF facilities, which are really loving difficult to hide, so how do we communicate with our subs now?  Either we have come up with some super secret novel way of creating EFL radio waves or we have something crazy secret like working quantum entanglement communication.

Klyith posted:Also like the main reason for having ELF communications with subs was to stay in contact with SSBN subs that stay deep submerged for months at a time during the cold war. These days the likelihood of needing to order a revenge strike against a surprise massive first strike attack is seen as low. Yeah, I've also read that it is extremely unlikely that VLF has improved to similar capabilities because it is a physics limit and not a technological limit. source posted:Nukewatch said the Navy's closure announcement, while welcome, raises more questions than it answers. The Navy said " improved technologies" and "changing requirements of today's Navy" made ELF obsolete. However, "very-low-frequency (ELF) alternatives to ELF have been around for 30 years and the 'changing requirements' refer to the end of the cold war that happened 14 years ago," LaForge said.

Doesn't the military have the ocean floor pretty extensively mapped at this point? There are obvious reasons to avoid active sonar, but I feel like they probably have something like TERCOM via sonar if they really needed to.

Hazo posted:If this thing did catastrophically fail, aren't they pretty much searching for a sedan-sized piece of flattened scrap metal at the bottom of the ocean, meaning there's almost zero chance of, or reason to spend effort on, finding it? Pretty sure the pressure wave would turn the carbon fiber into like a gazillion pieces. As I understand it, the carbon fiber aspect of carbon fiber is just a binding material for the actual structure which is resin, so pretty brittle, I would think the pressure wave would just turn the resin into dust instantly, ripping the carbon fiber into a billion pieces in the process.

An example of its work was a luxury duplex penthouse with spectacular views of Lords Cricket Ground in London which was created from an empty shell property.
