Titanic tourist sub goes missing in Atlantic Ocean, June 2023 #4

NASA has the best, too. They still lost two crews and vessels entirely in catastrophic disasters, and were lucky not to lose Apollo 13, too.

Space travel is one of the riskiest thing a person can do. There are going to be disasters.

Tried and tested submarines have been lost that way, too.

No one's saying that Oceangate is equivalent to any other space or marine exploration company or organisation.

What we're saying is that it is sure that at some point, if private space travel continues and expands, they're going to have a disaster. It's inevitable.

MOO

The original comment I responded to referenced "rich people." So the insinuation was clear.

I don't know what the price point for flight with Space X or Virgin Galactic is or will be, but I suspect the pool of potential passengers are going to have an obscene amount of money. These space and marine ventures, regardless of the quality of their product, have a very limited amount of people who can afford their services.

So to say that a space disaster with a private company would impact rich people is just a statement of fact.

MOO

I am not sure why the United States Coast Guard was doing such an in depth investigation of the Titan. It left from England...? Was it because there were US citizens involved in the wreck?
