Or building the inspection equipment that could determine if my new hull material was breaking down with every dive towards an inevitable disaster I've been warned about by many different people.


I suggest watching this doc on a sub build for "challenger deep". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb5j9oeZCm0

The hull was pressure tested in Russia. The amount of engineering was just immense compared to Titan.


It's incredible seeing the late CEO talking so much about how this and other super deep subs were built by amateurs as the reason he could conceivably safely build the Titan. Completely ignoring testing like this or that the Chinese sub was built by a government design bureau. They were projects headed by excited amateurs for sure but they were going to exceptionally traditional engineers to implement their ideas.
