Rolex presents: The Trieste's Deepest Dive (Extended)

[@drpoundsign]

SO...in 1960, they had sense enough to make a spherical steel submersible. TODAY...not so Much.

[@Frostbytedigital]

Comparing a vessel that went 3x times deeper is nowhere near the same pressure. I agree oceangate made a huge mistake using the material and shape that they did but companies like triton today ARE using tried and true spherical design on new crafts in 2023. Rolex also helped fund the dsv limiting factor which has been everywhere deep.

[@markmcfarland2579]

Difference between Europeans and Americans

[@TheNewNumberTw0]

@@markmcfarland2579 I think you are wrong. One of the people in the Trieste was a US Navy lieutenant. Project Nekton was an American project to modify the Triese to go this deep. I think the problem lies with the Oceangate people adopting the "Silicon Valley" attitude. There is so much similarity between their CEO and Elizabeth Holmes....

[@esleiterjaquez7800]

@@Frostbytedigital so of they went 3 times deeper it only makes it harder, how you say dont compare if ocean gate had it easier?

[@kernfgr]

Yep! Made from the best German Krupp steel . The sphere had been forged by the German Krupp works in Essen from a nickel-chromium-molybdenum steel and weighed around 14 tons. The wall thickness was nearly 4,7 inches, around the windows even 7 inches. Today outside USA an original test casting with a true-to-life interior can be seen in the Deutsches Museum in Munich.

It's Crazy that in 1960 we reached the bottom of the Challenger Deep (10.900 meters) and in 2023 we sadly witness a deadly failure at 3800 meters . What This Trieste accomplished kinda reminds me of ancient egyptians Who built the pyramids several thousands of years ago and now in 2023 we would not be able to replicate It

[@aitortilla5128]

That's because behind the Trieste there was a brilliant engineer and behind Oceangate there were only some amateurs.

[@iAmJoshC]

@@aitortilla5128 yeah sure, but honestly Stockton had a aerospace eng degree @Princeton, he wasn't stupid or amateur. I think he definitely had an expertise but the problem Is that he bypassed rules in order to spend less Money and less time , and Also that aerospace engineering Is not (Sub)marine engineering. A very big difference. A true amateur would have imploded much earlier, probably at his First descent

[@_dude..]

We could make the pyramids today. Except they would fall down after a decade because they're made cheap.

Thats because they were actually qualified and apart of the Navy. Simply more educated in those times than a fraud who built a submersible from camper world and was told it was not safe did not meet the criteria.

I'm on here because of the recent Ocean Gate submersible disaster near Titanic and everyone is making a big deal of how dangerous it is going down 2 miles to the Titanic. Then I watch this video of 60 years ago, first I ever heard of something like this, 2 people going down 7 miles below the ocean and back, WHAT THE HECK!!!!!!!!!! This is 60 years ago, 7 miles down and back, so now in the the year 2023 AD it's still highly dangerous to go just 2 miles down in the ocean. This dont make since when one looks at a 1960 Chevy pickup vs a 2023 Chevy pickup.............

[@SheffieldRock]

12 People walked the moon, only 3 reached the bottom of the Challenger Deep. As evidenced by the OceanGate implosion, it is far more difficult to withstand 1100 bar than zero bar. A Rolex Deepsea watch will easily withstand it's 487.5 bar test pressure: The way it is engineered, increasing the pressure on the Ringlock assembly will actually improve waterproofness.

[@dansv1]

22 people have descended to Challenger Deep. Victor Vescovo has made 15 descents.

[@SheffieldRock]

It still remains way more challenging to engineer for reaching the deepest ocean. A perfect sphere rated at 12,000 bar would require titanium of 50-100 mm thick. The Apollo moon lander needed to withstand just 1/3rd bar...tin can aluminium did the job.
