    A disproportionate number of the space-race era astronauts came from Ohio. Something about that place just makes people want to risk everything to go somewhere else, I guess.

      They better remember to put the wrist strap attachment thing on, otherwise the next hull breach might be caused by a flying joycon.

    Wasn’t the industry already safe prior to the implosion? Didn’t James Cameron go down to the titanic wreck like 50 times before cellphones existed?

      the thing is that J. Cameron used an actual research sub instead of a self made comercial submersible piloted by a longitech controler steering-device

    Going please-save-me as my vanity project sub suddenly stops moving and starts to slowly sink at 30,000 leagues below sea level while I look through the windows at the wreckage of the last sub I sent down here

      30,000 leagues below sea level

      actually “leagues” is a measurement of distance travelled and not depth.

      30,000 leagues if used as a measurement for depth would be ~90,000 miles which would put you somewhere in space on the other side of the earth, which I would also be fine with but I couldn’t help but engage in little a pedantry as a treat.
