          Honestly. I can’t afford deep sea submarine dive. I can afford a train ticket though. Do I question every train company, every train driver and coductor whether their train is real, fully functional train? No, I simply assume it is, because how else would it be even possible for them to operate it in this day and age?

          And I believe these rich people did the exact same thing, jist with a different machine…

            Sure, but you’re talking about routine things, not a maiden voyage of some brand new service. Deep sea voyages just aren’t a thing available for the average person, so I’d hold off and not be the first to try it out until it’s proven. I guess there’s some FOMO there, but there are always kinks to work out with any new service.

              Yeah, I wouldn’t get in such a death trap ever, but who am I? Imagining I have infinite money and the world is a sandbox for me, would this feel like “just another thing to keep me interested” like space jumps or formula rental or similar adrenaline gigs? Most likely yes. Everyone in my multi-billionaire social bubble would probably do similar things, so… Why not deep dive? I have paid lot of money, what could go wrong.
