A different perspective about the submersible incident, if you don't mind...

[Wonder Why]

100. This kind of stupidity is different. People have always wondered what it

was like in space or under the sea or to fly or ... but people like this don't do it for those reasons IMHO. They do it for bragging rights.

"We went to Europe"

"Yeah but we went to Antarctica and few people have ever done that"

"We flew to the end of space and nobody else in this room has done that"

"But we did the ultimate. We went into space AND we took 13000 foot deep undersea trip to see the Titanic. Top that!*

*A couple sued the company. They had done a Blue Origin trip (for $250K each) and had booked and paid for the Titanic plunge. They were put off because of delays and were awaiting their turn so they sued not too long ago.

The more expensive it is; the more daring it is; the fewer the number of people who could or have done it - the more they want to do it. It's not science. It's not exploration. It's not humanity's desire to find out what's out there. It's purely money to buy what others can't. That's why it always seems to be white people that do it. They want a golden opportunity because they have the gold.
