Check out the stupid mistakes that were made with OceanGate - engineering.com/…/potential-structural-reasons-fo…
"You’re remembered for the rules you break. And I’ve broken some rules to make this. The carbon fiber and titanium? There’s a rule you don’t do that. Well, I did.”
There were several people who quit working with OceanGate because their failure would paint all submersibles with a bad reputation. And thanks to morons like you and Stockton, they were right.

Damn, I admit I was guessing after looking at the headlines. Glad to hear someone is attempting to do it safely.
I am familiar with engineering and was amazed at all the corners cut by Oceangate.
Please don’t lump me in with Stockton. I may be a moron in many respects but I disagree with his whole approach the endeavor.
Safety rules are usually written in blood and ignored all of them.
