Tragic?

Try "predictable"

Please watch the Netflix documentary if you havent.

The sub was never meant for that depth and they knew it.

They could literally hear the carbon fibers snapping every dive.

They had to retire an entire chassis because it failed at similar depths.

Nahh, the tragedy is rich people think they are better than physics itself.

The tragedy is that more of these rich people don't test that belief against reality.

At least two billionaires keep firing rockets into space as a hobby. It's only a matter of time.

But they put other people on those rockets, not themselves.

Appeal to their vanity. Start saying how brave the astronauts are and make them celebrities. Give them all the credit. Don't mention the funders at all.

Next ones go up with a billionaire on board for sure.
