[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that ego plays a big role in feeling invincible. Extremely wealthy people often can’t imagine bad things happening to them. Rush clearly thought he was the smartest guy in the room and there was no need for extensive unmanned testing or multiple fail safes. His refusal to do it the harder slower way actually hinders science and exploration, the opposite of what he claimed. Had he been willing to work for years more on building a better engineered tested submersible and share design issues and flaws that emerged during testing he would advance science more. So yeah the desire to explore may be human but even more so is the enormity of ego that makes people feel invincible.

He just made a crappy version of one. [/quote]
