was never not-experimental

Is that why it had "five crew" and not "a pilot and four passengers?" 'Cause "passengers" would imply commercial use but this is crosses fingers a totally legit prototype with a "crew" of "mission specialists" simply "testing" it or some such?

probably

but like if you've got people renting a submersible for science... Like the Triton sub... those are crew and not passengers.

you know... if I paid $250k for a ride... I'd expect seats. and maybe something other than a bottle to piss in. possibly more than a curtain so my shits don't get smelled by... everyone...

I would insist everyone poo before we leave

You can insist…

But I’m definitely going to shit myself when the giant squid tries to grab some submersible tail…
