And I hope it leads to renewed exploration safety precautions.

It did the opposite actually, thanks

Will this result in yearly sacrifices to Poseidon?

sure, using unmanned drones instead of sending people to die in glorified soup cans held together with glue

Hopefully the destruction of the moon yields renewed interest in moon landings

I hope that food poisoning that I had leads me to eat more left out potato salad.

Nothing was being “explored,” & as far as I know, the trip had no scientific value whatsoever. It was just some rich people who wanted to say they saw the Titanic.
It’s a bit how they changed the definition of “astronaut” so it excluded assholes like Jeff Bezos. These people are not explorers, they are tourists.

It’s certainly renewed my interest in Billionaire CEOs using themselves as Guinea pigs.

Actually, you completely destroyed my interest in exploration so that I am now only concerned with conservation. It’s not gonna matter how much of the ocean is unexplored if everything in it is dead.

Nope, never getting on a home made sub, probably wont even be doing the disneyland sub anymore.

I hope it yields renewed interest in regulating the dumb shit that the rich do.

Hell, who isn’t ready to hop into a duct taped aluminum can to defend to the depths after that inspirational display?

More like a reminder on how *not* to do it.
But the real way to do it doesn’t stroke rich egos as well.

He didn’t seem to have learned the lesson, and there isn’t a second carbon fiber hulled sub for him to do a second run.

I hear zeppelins were oh soo popular right after the Hindenburg explosion…. and the Titanic really set the people’s mood for going on transatlantic cruises….

Many of histories explorers were drug fueled rich guys charlatans or both

I mean, just about as much as a car crash would give me renewed hope to drive.

Yes, when there is a high-profile failure leading to human death that occurs in an industry, that famously creates a boon for that industry. Just look at how well Zeppelins took off after the Hindenburg.

In addition to the obvious lunacy of this statement, it’s also irritating that they keep calling it ‘exploration’. They did squat for exploration. The Titanic had already been found and explored a zillion times. They were tour guides, and shitty, deadly ones at that.

I, for one, have a renewed interest in business regulation and engineering standards.
