According to that news article where it got lost for 2.5 hours, the CEO said he wasn’t going to try again until summer '23. So I’m reasonably certain the sub’s two attempts at diving resulted in one temporary and one permanent loss. The reporter who went on that successful dive and didn’t die must feel like he dodged a bullet.

Not unreasonable, but getting out of bed and going to the most dangerous part of our planet don’t really equate, you know? And when your own engineers are telling you you’ve made something unsafe, but you just keep going?? Well…

I can confirm that after a week of people posting links, I - a real user - finally took the plunge to sign up today.
