[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]May I ask a dumb question?

We have pics of the Titanic wreck, so clearly someone has been down there before? How did they live to tell the tale?[/quote]

Many submersibles have gone down there. Even Titan has gone down before and returned.

Then why is everyone like "OMG THIS IS SO DUMB FOR PEOPLE TO GO" if people have been before[/quote]

It’s honorable to take risk in the name of research, science, something you believe in and work for that is bigger than yourself. Hence why we don’t think astronauts or the Wright Brothers are stupid - the risk counts for something. But this was just ego tourism. It was rich people who had no business doing this taking a massive risk simply because they had the money to do it and say they did it. The risk here (death in a horrible way) was really high for the actual payoff. [/quote]

Are you joking? The Wright brother weren't selfless researchers wanting to better society. They were motivated by greed. They wanted to be rich.[/quote]

No this is your opinion, not fact[/quote]

Your opinion is that they were motivated otherwise. Where are the facts?[/quote]
