  1. 5:30 That's the secret of Venture Capital. They're all nepobabies.

  2. Hmm... It's almost as if the reason there were only four subs that could do it was because it was difficult, expensive, and only a few people need it.
    15
  3. Relevance?
    11
  4. Sht up or be doxxed

  5. Yet another flaw that would have inevitably killed the crew eventually.

  6. I am told that for ship hulls welding will do but riveting is preferred. This is what caused a lot of WWII destroyers to crack in half for no reason. The reason turned out that winter made the welds just brittle enough to crack in heavy seas, especially with inexperienced welders

  7. He wasn't. He just fired people eventually when they found out what was happening and mutinied.
    4
  8. Because of the sheer volume of issues that would have inevitably caused catastrophic failure. So many we're not sure which killed him. We want these issues fixed so we can build subs that work
    4
  9. They were paid to teach a guy how to work with carbon fiber. End of story

  10. He wasn't stupid, he did a lot of the inventing himself. He was a degenerate thrill seeker out to maje history or die trying
    3
  11. I've seen street racers with more safety concerns
    3
  12.  @alexanderSydneyOz  to be fair, I'm sure real sub makers either couldn't or wouldn't help
    2
  13. If NASA's brand enforcement was on point like Disney's, the conspiracy theorists would be in jail.
    2
  14. Theoretically yes, but the right way to do it is to start with unmanned iterations until it gets safety certified.

  15. Police? This is a civil matter not criminal
    2
  16. OceanGate was a startup. Meaning the key work is swcretly being done in the founder's garage
    2
  17. @Alarios711  let's put it this way: I form a company with a trillion and one shares, I convince you to buy a share for a dollar, ergo I am the world's first trillionaire. The net worth of these "founders" work the same way, they get an equity loan from the bank selling a chunk of the company, but since they never make money that loan is all they got. Much of the time they never intend to make money, they just need a cover activity so they can pay themselves large sallaries from borrowed funds

  18. Why you feel the need to slander a dead guy?
    1
  19. He did do the inventing and piloting himself
    1
  20. Not quite. Many of the "specialists" would be scientists, and they had to be trained how to rescue themselves if need be. The problem was he was referring to tourists and scientists with the same term, and you'll recall NASA changed the definition of astronaut when space tourism became a thing. Civil malfeasance, not criminal
    1
  21. Not that rich. He was an adventurer.
    1
  22. @Billpeterson4785  loans from rich relatives. Literally, that's how tech startups work, and his net worth was calculated from these arbitrary company valuations come. His secretary testified that often he sold stock simply because he didn't have the money to meet the next payroll.
    1
  23. Neither entity signed off on any design. And that is simply not so, as what kills carbon fiber for deep sea use was unknowable at the time
    1
  24. Lying isn't necessary in this instance
    1
  25. Liars get scalped. This guy was the same type of degen that you see racing on public highways
    1
  26. He didn't con the customers
    1
  27. Almost. The tourists had to be trained to help drive the thing and to rescue themselves so they were paying to become crew, and many of these tourists would be scientists/archeologists doing their trade on the ocean floor. The term Mission Specialist is what NASA calls the engies taxied into space to mix/install specific things and they usually only fly once, so the term isn't too inappropriate.

  28.  @mipmipmipmipmip-v5x  Vhut? Stockton got himself killed
    1
  29. You desperately need to be drafted
    1
  30. He was ripping off VC firms so he could be the epic explorer
    1
  31. He was old enough to be sam"s father
    1
  32. Not a felony and impossible to prove since the people he was ripping off were wall street idiots who don't like regulatory protections
    1
  33. Imagine the sound of a wooden barrel slowly bursting with pressure
    1
  34. @Coffeemancer  I think the composite material was analogous to wood, so cracking meant exactly what you think
    1
  35. @fuzzywzhe  Boeing was sourcing parts to the turdworld, not engies. Harley Davidson does the same thing despite advertising Made in USA, but that hasn't effected quality because Harley sells the same bikes they did in the 90s to exploit the nostalgia of middle aged wannabe gangsters.
    1
  36. Uh... Why you feel the need to lie about a guy who offed himself?
    1
  37. Rush wanted to either make history or die trying
    1
  38. Stockton Rush.
    1
  39. Who?
    1
  40. No, he was a negative millionaire. His fortune was fake and he made payroll simply by getting Wall Street equity loans. This was essentially a homemade submarine.
    1
  41. Street racers know the risks too, they just choose to ignore them
    1
  42. They were barely involved if at all
    1
  43. It was an experiment to make a better sub. Whether they can fix the technical issues is another matter
    1
  44. They were secretly poor. Most startups are. They sold the lions share of future profits to the banks for some cash and that's all they got
    1
  45. Mr. Rush wasn't a billionaire.
    1
  46. Why does everyone feel the need to lie about dead guys?
    1
  47. Some overlap
    1
  48.  @CoconutMigrating  Yes, but also I'm sure Stockton knew he actually needed to access industry experts for some things rather than reinvent all of this himself.
    1
  49. Not fine. There were flaws in the structure in the form of gaps, uneven layers, and trapped air. Even if the joints didn't fail, wear and tear on the haul itself would have produced similar catastrophic failure
    1
  50. Greed? They never had any intention of making money
    1
  51. @beestingza  The difference between the two men is one is dead and the other succeeded.
    1
  52. @beestingza  except Mr. Musk is also on record saying he doesn't care about his fortune, hence why he gambles on high risk ventures. Mr. Rush always wanted to be the epic explorer but chose to explore the sea because there was too much competition for space travel (he was a degenerate thrill seeker).
    1
  53. @beestingza  also, the financials of both men are the same because both men's fortunes were tied to arbitrary valuations of their company. Mr. Musk said that at the height of his stock's bubble they were "single digit weeks from bankruptcy"
    1
  54. Stockton Rush wasn't doing that to my knowledge.
    1
  55. ​@oo-bb4qs lying isn't necessary. There were regs, he just ignored or circumvented them all
    1
  56. ​ @c0rr4nh0rn Mr. Rush was white, I doubt his whole crew was too
    1
  57. Better than many venture capital startups because he was actually doing good science
    1
  58. ​ @williamkane shut up
    1
  59. Venture capital will give money to anyone
    1
  60.  @autophyte  I can't say whether these problems are insurmountable
    1
  61. Vhut?
    1
  62. Not exactly. It's like those street racers taking corners at 90mph, they know they'll die eventually they just don't care and want to have fun in the interim.
