Argh. I have a big problem with the deep sea. I couldn't even look at those recent pictures of the Titanic.

What are they doing down there?

If they're just descending and coming back up, I don't see the point?
That was done over 50 years ago, we know it can be done.

Click on the link and read? He's going down for 6 or so hours to video and gather samples and other data.

Just looking at his sub makes me feel queasy. I can't even imagine being in it.
