Kinda sad to see this Stockton guy talking about it... he was obviously passionate about the whole thing. We keep hearing reference to "billionaires" and whatnot in this situation, but honestly, this guy was clearly on a budget. He wasn't fucking with no Elon Musk kinda money, that's for sure. Yeesh. If you can't do it RIGHT, don't do it at all... but still just a really unfortunate ending to this guy's personal dreams and aspirations.
19:55 he was clearly just a really obsessed nerd when it came to this whole ocean exploration thingy. Which leads me to question... where WAS the funding for what he was doing?? Cuz it really does seem like he wanted to be the SpaceX of the ocean though. It really seems like he had big goals for "innovation" just like Elon does, so why didn't he a get a bunch of money behind it like Elon has?
Could it be because the only "alien" life that really exists within our local space neighborhood is HERE on the planet, and perhaps within the ocean's depths? Countless instances of people seeing UFOs rising out of all kinds of bodies of water, including oceans all over the world. So... is deep ocean exploration more of a threat to the official narrative of this planet's history (and humanity's origins) than traveling to space??
20:15 you could tell he had way too much confidence in the whole thing though.
22:14 oh man... so he's describing the porthole area which was only rated to a pressure of 1300. He actually says it'll start to crackle before it fails so you "get a huge warning"... oh my God man, I bet that's literally what happened. I bet they found that piece without the window on it. That's pretty bad because he'd know exactly what was going wrong and that it was deadly right then and there. I doubt they had a whole ton of time to panic, but still... that's fucked up. It'd be one thing if it had only been his own life on the line, but with the paying passengers... just makes the whole thing look bad.
22:56 you can tell he really loved this. Unbelievable man, just... it's a lot.
24:04 and here Stockton is talking about HOW HE'D LIKE TO BE REMEMBERED.
24:18 yeah well... maybe it wasn't the carbon fiber after all. I have a feeling it was the porthole. It's the elephant in the room with the literal proof that it wasn't rated for those depths. Result is still the same whether it was the hull or the porthole... doesn't make much of a difference. Still pretty eerie to see this though.
24:34 wow... he literally said what I said. This is much more intense than I figured it could be.
