Thread 211646362

It's out. And /tv/'s silence is deafening.

>>211646362 (OP)
/tv/ Wouldn't say a single word to it, they would listen to what it has to say, and that's what no one else did.

the threads on this were spammed every day after release except today (til now)

>>211646362 (OP)
What was going through their heads (besides the Logitech controller)

Why does the sub look so small compared to the rails on the ship?
It can't be perspective because why would it be further away from the lens than the ship if it were looking directly at the bow unless it's looking at something off the port side for some reason?
There's supposed to be people in that sub
Am I retarded?

>the deeper you look the darker it gets
are they selling a YA novel or making a movie about five people dying?

If it were up to fags like you we'd never have any innovation
>NOOOOOOOOOO WRIGHT BROTHERS YOU CAN'T JUST TEST OUT THAT FLYING MACHINE IT DOESN'T LOOK SAFE

>>211646950
It's a really dumb Photoshop job. They had to put the wreck of the Titanic in the picture otherwise people wouldn't know it was a documentary about the retards who died "trying to be inspirational"

>>211646362 (OP)
it's alright
basically just an hour and 50 minutes of people talking about how stupid and arrogant stockton was

never would have happened if they used this bad boy

>>211646362 (OP)
The first 2 min were good, but the HBO one is better.

>creates a sub that can safely travel to 4000m with 4 people on board (not counting the crew) at 1/10th the cost of “safe “ subs that can only bring one person down there
>for whatever reason he is seen as a failure and a fraud
I don’t get it.

its not that much of an interesting story. The media attention was excessive.
hubris and submarines don't mix. Who knew?

We have a bunch of threads hitting the bump limit, you tourist.

>>211646950
>Am I retarded?

Potentially. It is a perspective thing because the camera is closer to the titanic in that shot, making it look larger. As someone else mentioned it's not a real photo anyway

>>211647090
the wright brothers didnt hear their craft literally breaking down mid flight and then decide to do nothing about it and keep flying it over & over until it blew up. that's the difference

>>211646362 (OP)
At sea no one can hear you implode

remember how the media ran with the story for 5 days talking about rescue efforts when it was obvious to anyone with a brain that they died not long after submerging?

>>211647309
>>211647090
Are you also active the boys in the hood thread? I saw many a bait post in there too.

>>211647309
>safely
Why did they die then

>>211647727
Because he went down too many times with the same hull. It was safe for about 80 trips.

>>211647578
Rescue efforts sound a lot more exciting to the proles than a 2 minute story of a bunch of retards going splat. Easy way to milk a story for a few days during a slow news week.

>>211646528
does get the noggin joggin doesn't it?

>>211647209

Its very much like 1000 other titan documentaries on you tube. I was kind of surprised they did not spend more time on stocktons backstory and psychoanalyzing his childhood trauma and "white privilege".

>There's a non-zero possibility there's still down there surviving in a pocket of air and eating seafood and drinking distilled water they made out of whatever was available

It's kinda weird knowing quantum probability works like that.

>>211647644
No, that kind of bait where you constantly ask people to answer questions is lazy and beneath me

>>211648084
There's a universe where Emma Watson is obsessed with me, and more specifically, my cock. That's how quantum physics work, right?

>>211646362 (OP)
there's threads about it every day (i make half of them)

>>211647090
That's the part that annoys me about the criticism to the guy. Everyone just plays pro bono fed with respecting Da Rules. He wasn't a retard because he didn't follow regulations, he was a retard because he was a retard.
Right attitude, low smarts.

>>211647578
>remember how the media ran with the story for 5 days talking about rescue efforts

gee I wonder if they were just motivated to drag the story out for ratings? See the classic movie 'Ace in the Hole'.

>>211647309
honestly the more you think about it, the more impressive it gets
I mean, he literally took the cheapest metal, surrounded it with the equivalent of 1000 elastic bands and managed to get to the bottom of the ocean and back numerous times.

All he had to do was renew the hull, and he would have been the Elon Musk of the oceans.

>>211649199
no he would not have. every dive he took you could hear crackling and popping in the acoustics. any sensible person would hear that and think something is wrong, it doesn't take an engineering degree to come to that conclusion. but for what it's worth the engineers said he was retarded too.

>>211646577
Their own heads

>>211649310
>you could hear crackling and popping in the acoustics
but that's my point, that was the carbon fiber strands taking the brunt of the force.
Stands to reason that if you're building a cheaper submarine it will have a more limited lifespan.
Literally all he had to do was throw on some more carbon fiber threads, and it would be fine.

>>211649199
>All he had to do was renew the hull

having to make a new hull every year would have destroyed the low cost economics and advantage over traditional deep sea submersibles.

>>211649666
initially yes, satan, but after a while you'll streamline the production and it will be way cheaper.

It's called a loss-leader.

>>211647090
No, you don't understand. I'm VERY supportive of retards killing themselves with weird contraptions, and then maybe 1 in 1000 of those finds something useful, but that doesn't mean I can't mock them and recognize them as retards when they make a sub out of carbon fiber.

Why didn't he just buy a functional minisub off one of those frog leisure diving troupes or some such. Zissou style.
Just buy some sub, fix it up and you're good to go.

>>211648084
wubbalubbadubdub my fellow rickmorter XD
Kill yourself.

>>211647833
Rush didn't listen to literally anyone's advice. I get that he was a narcissist, but nothing anyone told him seemed to faze him at all, despite how many times he almost died or could clearly see his ship was a death trap.

Why didn't he just buy a sub that's good to go?

>autonomy: 72 hours
where do they pee and poo....

>>211650024
You piss and shit before you start the mission. What are you an animal that can't go without pissing or shitting for 72 hours?

Why was he obsessed with carbon fiber? Was it really just because it was cheaper?

>>211649199
He should have just sticked to shallower dives, just because you can dive 4000 miles doesn't mean you actually should do it all the time

>>211650080
Yes. The whole point of the company was to be as cheap and ambitious as possible. The business was failing as-is.

>>211650080
The way of the future. The way of the future. The way of the future.

Nobody cares about shallow dives. Rich guys only pay to see the Titanic.

>>211650152
So this was the Chernobyl of diving

>>211647090
Back then they built things right before trying them

>>211649928
Only the most expensive one in your screenshot could reach the Titanic. Even ignoring purchase cost, the problem was weight. You need a huge fucking boat to haul around a big metal sub and that's even more expensive.
He wanted to build a lightweight sub out of carbon fiber so he could have a lighter, cheaper boat haul it around.
There may even be some carbon fiber composite or design using carbon fiber in some places that works. The main problem was that if you don't have the money for a full deep sea operation using existing vehicles, you don't have the money to fund deep sea vehicle R&D, and you definitely don't have the money to see it fail.

>>211650227
that's a retarded statement

>>211650024
In each others mouths

>>211650024
They just open up the hatch and do their business out in the water, as long as they're not out there too long it's fine.

>>211647309
>safely
Guess it wasn't that safe...

>>211650080
>>211650152
id he actually care about exploring the ocean, or was it all pure ego for him? Just from seeing his videos, you can tell that the dude was just off and dead-eyed. But I wonder if he actually gave a fuck about the field he was in.

>>211646518
Jej

>>211650260

Not sure I'm seeing the problem.
Purchase a sub that you know works.
~$6mil or so is not steep for an operation like this and the guy was a trust fundie from a rich family so he could get a loan easily.

Once proven that he can do a dive and come back up he can start charging people whatever he wants commercially and at that point it prints money.

>>211647090
The Wright Brothers didn't con people into flying their death traps. They both knew the risks and took them alone.

>>211650261
No, retards getting Darwin'd because they only think about spending less money applies to both cases

>>211650338
>you can tell that the dude was just off and dead-eyed

Part of the carbon, part of the fiber.

>>211650398
Trips to the Titanic are not commercially viable at the current price point.
They would lose money and go out of business like every company that tried before.

>>211650461
It's a marketing issue. There's enough rich loons wanting to spend money on stupid shit. You just have to know how to reach them.
There are always rich people from saudi arabia and india that fall for stupid shit like this

>>211650080
>>211649928
His whole scheme was to try and make it easier and cheaper to build submarines because while most billionaires are obsessed with space, he took the Sealab pill.

>>211648615
You don't have to follow the rules, I don't give a fuck if you evade the US coastguard or call your passengers mission specialists.
The only rules you have to follow are the fucking laws of physics. I don't see anyone in these threads calling Stockton a bad person for wanting to buy a congressman, they're making fun of him for ignoring his hull loudly snapping apart on every single trip.

Attempt #3 to shift discussion to Madsen and his mobile rape dungeon the Nautilus

>>211650425
just because there's one or even a couple of similar things don't make them similar enough to say it's the "chernobyl of diving"
the biggest aspect of chernobyl was widespread contamination of a huge area and the resulting amount of deaths and illnesses it caused. That and sticking humanity with this fucking radioactive hell pit they now have to contain for thousands of years.

I love the power glove. It's so bad

>>211650168
and to be buried there

>>211648084
no, dumbass. debris from the crash site was recovered just days after and confirms they died instantly. also, they had no means of surviving long term down there anyway.

>>211650080
Cheaper and lighter. If it's too heavy you need an expensive boat to haul it.
Dude was an aerospace engineer, and they use carbon fiber in hulls all the time. He thought he was a genius bringing something to the field that no one had thought of before.
He invested all his money and ego in this and could not accept that it failed.

The best documentary stuff was Josh Gates from Discovery going on a test dive with Rush and watching Josh's alarm grow as things fail one after the other while Rush blithely dismisses his every concern. I've seen Josh do a lot of wild things, but that submarine fucking scared him.

>>211650664
nawww that's just the smooth jazzmycal rhythm of the hull playin a cool ocean beat to the sound of the waves my brotherman

>>211649928
Isn't the one on the bottom right Gaben's sub? It looks very similar anyway.

Imagine being there seconds before the compression kicks in and you know that all your atoms and molecules are going to be mingled together into one paste that is then going to be spread out in a burst and turned into food for sea life.
Essentially within moments all of them just turned into homogenous human mulch substance and you couldn't tell where one person starts and another begins. Total mulchification.

>>211650604
such a cool ship design. gonna try making it in Barotrauma when the new update drops.

If he is he likely ate the other members of the crew by now.

>>211649647
>Literally all he had to do was throw on some more carbon fiber threads, and it would be fine.
doubtful, but I'm not an engineer

>>211649647
>>211650944
Alternatively he should've had a carbon fiber/steel hybrid hull.
There are so many ways this could've had a happy end.

My favorite part was the retarded youtuber
>It could have been ME! Imagine if it was ME! I just keep thinking, what if it was ME???

They should use this tech for the suicide pods instead of that Swiss contraption where the person doesn't die and you have to literally choke them to death instead.

>>211648084
he's down there right now, singing with sebastian, with his sub playing percussion

>>211650838
too bad barotrauma is so jank, i'd honestly prefer if it was less of a social game and just a crew managing one, the singleplayer kind of sucks and multiplayer is just budget ss13

>>211650654
it was the titanic of diving

>>211647250
wonder what it's like to fap with one of these

>>211650664
the hull is seasoned, honestly the logic is pretty sound, they were probably just unlucky
after most of the weak carbon threads have broken, only the strongest would remain.

>No scuba gear for passengers
>No explosive bolts on bubble to escape in case of failure
He was an amateur.

>>211650944
>>211651064
it's the same way that F1 cars wear out their tires during a race. No one expected the tires to last for a lifetime, so you have replacements
All he needed was to secure another round of investing, and he'd probably have bought a giant spool of carbon fiber thread, so he could just keep replacing it.

>>211650604
Who cares, he only killed a roastie.

>>211651614
He should've had a system where the inside of the sub fills up instantly with a quick hardening foam, which buys them more time to get saved in case of a hull breach. Basically everyone just puts on an oxygen mask, they activate the foam and it fills up every available space in the sub and hardens, which prevents the hull from collapsing inwards. Then they can wait, nested in like that, for a few more days maybe to get rescued.

>>211651671

In all honesty I think just lathering the outside of the sub with gorilla glue or caulk or something similar would've saved them on that dive.

>>211650604
Peter Madsen also had a space venture called Copenhagen Suborbitals. Perhaps he wanted to break the final frontier of rape.

>>211647090
True

>>211650604
I don't understand how he was prosecuted, he was the captain of the ship, his word is law

>>211651894
They had a high court writ. Nothing he could've done.
Unless he had a letter of marque himself. But that's neither here nor there now.

>>211651680
He killed a journ*list, in a sane society he would have received a medal.

>>211647090
the wright brothers were driven by inventing something actually useful not by egotism
at least that's what I'm going to invent in my head for this argument

>>211651894
>captain escapes
>nubile young woman goes down with the ship
He broke the nautical code, there had to be consequences

>>211651738
If this proposed foam can withstand pressure better than the carbon fiber they used, they would have made the hull out of that instead. But this foam does not exist, and even if it did there was no way to rescue people cocooned on the bottom of the ocean, not to mention they would have had an entire millesecond to don their masks and trigger the foam.
Basically you are dumb.
