Another Businessman to the Rescue

As if saving the Hubble Space Telescope was not enough, another businessman thinks he can do better with submersibles heading down to the Titanic. What could go wrong?

Ohio businessman Larry Connor believes he can safely tour the Titanic wreckage without encountering the same issues as the OceanGate TItan submersible that never made it back last year. I guess he is bored after his trip to the International Space Station as a tourist and needs something to do.

It would appear that space and the sea exploration is a plaything these days for folks with more money than sense. I don’t think success in luxury real estate equates to success in seafaring, but he would not be the first person at the bottom of the sea wondering what went wrong.

Maybe setting up a nonprofit organization to encourage space and sea exploration among the young who would never otherwise have such chances would be better investment in the long run.

Whatever happened to those guys who bought a convertible and rode off into the sunset when they had their mid- to end-of-life crisis?
