AndyM3000 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I was going to make a joke yesterday about how I am surprised SSN haven't got a timer running with the amount of oxygen left and I've just seen an US News Station has actually done that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think losing signal is a huge red flag for these guys. They had a previous descent where a journalist was on the mother ship and lost contact for over 2 hours. The ship's crew's response was to turn off the ship's WiFi. Given that Titan apparently has no navigation tools onboard and relies on text messages to and from the mother ship to navigate (which apparently are slow and spotty), you can see how cavilier the attitude towards safety was.

sidcow Posted June 22, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 22, 2023 The story is starting to slip further down the BBC page now. They've lost interest now it's clear there will be no dramatic rescue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
