The one guy had been into space/low of it and visited the Mariana Trench you would think he could has seen this outfit as somewhat a Mickey Mouse operation the guy dealt with Airplanes for a living and Carbon Fibre aspect didn’t scare him seems weird.

I mean if not, you'd HAVE to at least rub one out down there, right?
But yeah - you gotta joint the Mile Deep club if you have that shot. Being in a group such a select group alongisde only Direkshun's Whore Mother would be a hell of a feather in your cap.

I think we all take risks, more specifically weighted risks, every day. In this case there was a lot of trust in a system that they really don't control. Like flying on a plane, there's a risk, but the customer has little or no control of many aspects of the platform's true worthiness.
I dive both lower risk shallow blue water sites where I can get to the surface if I need to. I also to more risky overhead trimix decompression dives where bolting to the surface is both impossible (overhead) and would be deadly without decompression stops. But a LOT more planning, redundancy, and "extra" gas goes into the latter. Not that we don't plan for gear failures on the shallow dives, but there's clearly not as much risk. I just feel bad for the people in this case who could really only trust that the others had planned and checked for every possible failure. I'm sure they put a lot of thought into it, it ould be silly to suggest they didn't, but clearly something was missed. It's all good, we all have our ways to get our thrills.

And even most people that dive consider that sort of thing a bridge too far. Everyone's appetite for risk -AND control - is a little different. Most times it's going to be directly proportional; people who take greater risks demand more control. That said, there's also a thresshold point where you reach a 'trust the experts' mindset. If I'm going to jump from a plane, for instance, I'm letting the guys who have run this shop pack my chute. And if/when I do a trimix dive, I'm not gonna be the guy blending those cannisters. Oh sure, I'll make sure it's all rigged up, but I do have to put SOME level of trust in someone else when I'm presuming that they didn't fill the whole damn tank with helium. Now in time I'll take the wheel there as I know you can alter those mixes a bit depending on the depth and purpose of the dive - but that wouldn't come until I had a ton of experience with it. How precisely would one ever get tha level of experience with deep water submersibles. At a certain risk threshhold, you have to either BE an expert or TRUST the experts. I just don't think the former is doable here.

The more and more I read about Rush + OceanGate, the more and more I wonder if he truly was being innovative or insane.

Money makes people do dumb shit. I’m really not surprised at this at all.

Um buddy, if you don't want it in an airplane, you don't want it 2 miles below the water... I mean surely that's not the full story.
