Yeah, he lists the passengers as "mission specialists".
There's not even any seats in that thing. They're barefoot sitting on the floor.
Well they're having a "$250,000 trip of a lifetime", one way or another.
The sea.
As land creatures humans have “learned the hard way” a vast amount from the sea.
Humans have “learned the hard way” a vast amount from mining deep down into the earth.
But there is an old folk saying:
There is no education in the second kick of a mule.
The first many kicks of the mule here were all the avoidable mistakes in the original sinking of the Titanic.
I can see taking risks and spending of funds of diving deep
to explore “Black Smokers” in the deep sea
or looking for nodules of needed minerals on deep sea floors,
or looking for the sunken Czarist Russian Navy warship with a payroll of Gold coins,
but this “adventure tourism”
is consuming tax dollars for rescue
and luring “clicks” for advertising $ in a bad way.
