By 2050, he would like to see 1,000 humans living in the sulfuric acid clouds of Venus. The businessman's latest — and possibly grandest — endeavor is to send 1,000 humans to live in Venus' atmosphere by 2050. Söhnlein hasn't let the recent events dampen his ambition and claims humanity needs to continue pushing the limits of innovation. Sending humans to Earth's evil twinThough it's often called "Earth's twin," Venus doesn't seem like the ideal place for humans to thrive. The Titan submersible.

Deep-sea expeditions are "very safe" as long as established safety protocols are followed, Ray Dalio said. "Diving in a classed submersible is no more risky than taking a commercial flight or driving in a car," he said. The billionaire investor is the founder of nonprofit initiative OceanX, which is currently planning explorations in Norway's fjords, the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. But billionaire investor Ray Dalio, also the founder of the nonprofit ocean exploration initiative OceanX, has pushed back against the paranoia. As author of 'Principles', a guide to his management and investment philosophy, Dalio often weighs in on financial and economic matters.

A Subway store in Georgia had to remove a roadside sign that said "our subs dont implode." Subway said it had told the franchisee "that this kind of comment has no place in our business." Subway didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment, made outside of normal working hours. During a trip to view the wreck of the Titanic on June 18, the Titan, the submersible, lost communication with its mothership. Though some commenters on Twitter and Reddit said they found the Subway sign funny, others slammed it as being insensitive.

Glimpses of the wrecked Titan submersible wreckage were seen as its remains were brought ashore. Though it's difficult to know for sure, the carbon fiber hull likely failed first, an expert told Insider. The titanium structural rings are intactAn annotated picture of the titanium structural rings pulled from the wreckage of the Titan submersible. OceanGate Expeditions' controversial Titan submersible is thought to have imploded within hours of its descent towards the Titanic wreckage on June 18. These were encased in a metal cage that would have been bound to the carbon fiber hull.

Submersible experts raised red flags about the Titan's safety long before it imploded. Investigations into the implosion of OceanGate's Titan submersible are likely to examine repeated warnings about the craft's safety and design. Submersible experts raised red flags about the Titan's safety long before it imploded but OceanGate continued its expeditions. "Bringing an outside entity up to speed on every innovation before it is put into real-world testing is anathema to rapid innovation," OceanGate stated. Rush responded and said he was "tired of industry players who try to use a safety argument to stop innovation".

Ex-Titan passenger Aaron Newman said safety was "always the most important thing" for OceanGate. "The thing that he may be guilty of was not following the crowd," Aaron Newman told Fox Business. A man who went on the Titan submersible two years ago said safety was "always the most important thing" for OceanGate — even if the company's CEO Stockton Rush didn't always follow "the crowd." "Safety is an incredible priority and was always the most important thing there," said Newman, who was also friends with Rush. Former passengers of the Titan sub have spoken out about their experiences on the sub since its "catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber."

The co-founder of OceanGate on Friday defended the company's commitment to safety. Guillermo Söhnlein said the Titan submersible was put through a "very robust" development program. Development of the Titan "certainly led to successful science expeditions to the Titanic," he said. "I think one of the issues that keeps coming up is everyone keeps equating certification with safety and is ignoring the 14 years of development of the Titan sub," Söhnlein told the BBC. The development program was indeed "very robust," Söhnlein said, "and certainly led to successful science expeditions to the Titanic."

He told reporters on Thursday the debris was consistent with "a catastrophic implosion of the vehicle." British Titanic explorer Dik Barton paid tribute to the work of his friend Nargeolet but noted issues raised with the design and maintenance of the craft. "Everyone's wise after the event, but as we're hearing before, unfortunately there were many red flags flying here," he said. He said sonar buoys used in the water for more than three days had not detected an implosion. The Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg on its first voyage, killing more than 1,500 people aboard.

Guillermo Söhnlein, who co-founded OceanGate with Stockton Rush in 2009, left the company in 2013, retaining a minority stake. Rush was piloting the Titan submersible on the trip that began on Sunday. He was very keenly aware of the risks of operating in the deep ocean environment, and he was very committed to safety," Söhnlein told Reuters. Questions about Titan's safety were raised in 2018 during a symposium of submersible industry experts and in a lawsuit by OceanGate's former head of marine operations, which was settled later that year. The Titan submersible, operated by OceanGate Expeditions to explore the wreckage of the sunken SS Titanic off the coast of Newfoundland, dives in an undated photograph.

An actor who was on the Titan submersible said the craft suffered a communication failure. Alan Estrada told the Daily Mail the craft lost communication with its vessel ship for two hours. Despite the issues, Estrada told the news outlet he was made aware of the risks of the dive before he traveled. On Sunday, five people taking the same trip went missing after the submersible lost communication with its surface vessel two hours into its descent. Mike Reiss, who has taken four dives with OceanGate's Titan, said there were communication issues on his trips.

[1/2] The Titan submersible, operated by OceanGate Expeditions to explore the wreckage of the sunken SS Titanic off the coast of Newfoundland, dives in an undated photograph. Industry experts say they were the first known fatalities in more than 60 years of civilian deep-sea submergence. But even as industry leaders braced for increased scrutiny, they said it was difficult to forecast what sort of changes may come. While acknowledging the loss of life aboard the Titan, Ketter said "the facts are the facts" when it came to the experimental path OceanGate chose to take. "It's not that the regulations would be irrelevant, but they probably wouldn't be the biggest forcing function on the industry," Manley said.

James Cameron recently addressed the implosion of a Titanic-bound submersible that killed 5 people. Cameron told ABC News that he has visited the shipwreck on his own expeditions 33 times. CBS via Getty Images; Steve Granitz/FilmMagicIn June 2023, a submersible owned by diving company Oceangate, which was carrying five people to see the Titanic shipwreck at around 13,000 feet under the surface, lost contact with its mothership. Years before the expedition, experts, including OceanGate's own director of marine operations, had raised concerns about the safety of the vessel. In another interview with CNN, Cameron said he knew "in my bones" that the submersible had imploded before it was announced.

The company also boasted of collaborations with reputable institutions that have since denied partnering with OceanGate on the submersible in question. The interior of OceanGate's Titan submersible is seen in 2018. It “hasn’t been used in a crewed submersible ever before,” he said in a video last year. OceanGate appears to have also overstated its relationships with two institutions widely respected for their innovation: Boeing and University of Washington. OceanGate had partnered with UW to create a different submersible before parting ways, the university said in a statement.

OceanGate's Titan submersible has been missing since Sunday. OceanGate claimed that Boeing, NASA, and the University of Washington helped design the Titan. In a statement sent to Insider, Boeing said the aircraft company was not involved with the development of OceanGate's Titan. The University of Washington also released a statement saying that it wasn't involved in creating OceanGate's Titan submersible. But the collaboration resulted in a "steel-hulled vessel, named the Cyclops 1," not the design for the Titan submersible.
