@@ObliqueVisualsNz Fair enough man, I totally understand your skepticism, but you can never underestimate humans. Most of the calculations were done by hand. I always just think of the Sphynx or the Colossus of Rhodes, and those were built before we had modern technology, all by hand, designed by insanely intelligent people. Or how from 1900-2000 we went from land based monkeys, to conquering the sky, to exploring space. It's not far fetched to think it's not real, but also it's easy to see how it could be done with what they had at the time, you always just make do with what you got.

You're right, and we do, but let me hopefully make you feel just a little bit better with another space related piece of information. The international space station has existed for the last 25 years and despite Russia threatening to pull out during the current war, they didn't actually do so. That makes the ISS a combined work of the space agencies of America, Canada, Europe(as a whole with most major countries), Japan, and Russia. In those 23 years, 279 people from 22 countries- different genders, religions and ethnicities- have lived and worked on this space station (8 people at a time, with others coming to replace them when they leave) and continue to do so to this day.

The rest of us had to listen to her instructions, use the blocks, and build what she was describing. I dont think any of the groups managed to successfully do it.

not even remotely similar beyond the surface level. "stupid man throws all known science and all good sense to the wind to have a rickety ass carbon fiber can visit a historic wreck site we already know how to visit safely and have done so on many occasions" vs "highly qualified team of bright minds and professionals pool all knowledge and cutting edge tech together at the bleeding edge of an endeavor to a distant and alien place upon which precious few have ever tread in order to send some of the world's bravest men on a historic journey". one of these is a farce led by a moronic narcissist who got everyone and himself killed on a mission that anyone with half a braincell knew was inevitably going to fail, and the other is the culmination of human ingenuity, and the strict adherence to safety and science, where a small but devastating error led to a disaster that was yet narrowly averted because everyone involved brought not just their A-game, but their SS-Tier game, which is why everyone survived. "a bunch of guys in a small space floating inside a really hostile big space" is about as similar as these two get. once you get past that, you realize just how many leagues apart they actually are. comparing the oceangate sub's laughably under-engineered, corner-cutting, science-denying construction to literally anything NASA has ever designed or built, is plain silly. does NASA always get it right? obvs not, as this - and the Challenger disaster - prove. but i don't know if oceangate got even one single thing right, apart from i guess wiring the steering correctly so that turning right goes right and turning left goes left, but... pretty sure a sufficiently well taught 8yo could do that, too, so it's not saying much. thankfully, the victims of the oceangate sub's implosion probably never even knew there was a problem before they were all dead, so they didn't have to contemplate their mortality or try to think up solutions to save themselves. not only is it a good thing for the sake of their mental wellbeing, but also because no one aboard would be qualified to problem solve anyway.
