For those who are unaware: A couple billionaires, a pilot, and one of the billionaires’ son are currently stuck inside an extremely tiny sub a couple thousand meters under the sea (inside of the sub with the guys above).

They were supposed to dive down to the titanic, but lost connection about halfway down. They’ve been missing for the past 48 hours, and have 2 days until the oxygen in the sub runs out. Do you think they’ll make it?

    I mean, I agree that the construction is sketchy (runs the whole thing from an off-brand playstation controller? Couldn’t splurge on the $800 for a real cassette toilet?), but acrylic and carbon fiber are appropriate material choices, if they were used in the appropriate thicknesses and configurations.

        I mean, are there better materials to use where the thickness and configurations wouldn’t matter?

      ya if there is any one part of the vehicle you would have trouble arguing its the hull it was designed by some of the best minds in the world that specifically specialize in this type of travel at Boeing and MIT.
