  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.

  6. 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

  7. Not that rich. He was an adventurer.

  8. @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.

  9. 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.

  12. @beestingza  The difference between the two men is one is dead and the other succeeded.

  13. @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).

  14. @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"
