If you look closely at that list of people who rode the Limiting Factor to Challenger Deep, you'll see Hamish Harding.

That's kind of a stupid statement, you can't just look at a submarine and decide if it's funktional or not. You can look at the company's experience, at the testing procedures or all the tests done with the new material, but just rejecting something because it looks different is not helpful.

Can confirm, Titanium is a better material to build your sub out of than say, carbon fiber.

My favourite fact about the first expedition is that Jacques Picard and Don Walsh dropped a weight with the flags of France and the United States attached to a small flagpole. Because the US has a law that the US flag cannot fly beneath another flag, the US flag was on top of the French one. Once they'd surfaced, Picard pointed out that that made the lowest object in the ocean a French flag, thus beating out the US by a few centimetres.

@Tinil0

7 ай бұрын

That's obviously apocryphal because the US does not have a law that says the US flag cannot fly beneath another flag. Nor would it apply anyway in the middle of the ocean. That's asinine. The flag code says it should be flown above state, local, and non-governmental flags. For foreign flags, the flag code actually specifies it should NOT fly higher than them, and should in fact be the same size and at the same level. But again, it doesn't apply since the flag code explicitly only applies on American soil. Also the flag code is not even mandatory anyway, it's a non-binding guideline for custom.

There's a great in-depth video on the making of the Limiting Factor on KZread called "The Making of the Deep Submergence Vehicle (DSV) Limiting Factor - A Documentary by Nick Verola"

Fun Fact: the name Limiting Factor comes from the name of a spaceship in the novel The Player of Games, by Iain M Banks. It’s an absolutely amazing book, part of his Culture series. You should definitely read it.

Cameron's investors: "Jimmy, when are you going to finish that Avatar sequel?" Cameron: "I'm feeling a little creatively blocked, right now. Maybe I need a vacation." Investors: "The Challenger Deep wont be deep for much longer if you keep dropping your ballast down there." Cameron: "Guys, I'm seeking inspiration. The movie *is* called 'The Way of Water' after all."

Dude, that video was like realy deep, man.

The hotdog in the list of sandwiches is the most controversial thing I have seen today.

So basically Viktor didnt want to DIY a submarine that was controlled by a logitech ps3 controller that didnt have a failsafe or no comms requirement for everyone to see if they are alive and not imploded

Wikipedia gives a range of depth of 10902-10929 meters for Challenger Deep. The the relatively simplistic calculation is that the water pressure is (101325 Pascals + (1030 kg/m^3)(9.805 m/s^2)(10929 meters) = 110474935.35 Pascals = 1090.3028 atmospheres or 16023.03 pounds per square inch. (assume that the density of sea water is 1030 kg/m^3, but really the water is compressible under heavy pressure.)
