A lot of you are asking what a risk and feeling intelligent by not thinking so silly. How silly do you think they were?
Some are probably thinking they were daring God. Well, let’s think for once…
How do you think you have all the inventions you enjoy today if nobody had dared to risk, die and be killed? The Phone, internet, cars, submarines, jets, airplanes, electricity, scan machines, sterilizers, ovens, drugs, metal extraction from ore, chemical synthesis, oil exploration, Geophysical discovery, medical equipment, visit to the moon, stars, and everything else came because someone, people and generations dared, failed, died and later succeeded and bring them to reality.
Deep in the future, all lost vehicles will be found whether below or above, sad that all those onboard might be gone. But new technologies would reveal beyond any human imaginations the deeper workings of nature. Science is not magic and soon magic would be afraid of true science. I envisage and strongly believe that even the all controversial Bermuda triangle would be conquered by a certain generation of creatives. Technology will reshape our world and almost make it frightening to live especially to religiously sick minds whose brains have been twisted for them to believe that which is untrue, impracticable, nonsensical and silly. Mostly sick perspective about this lost submersible is from Nigeria so-called Christians. May I please ask why that’s so?
Listen now, We’re pushing the limit and new limits are refined and redefined on a rolling basis. If humans were told 500 years ago that we’d be so sophisticated in communication, no one would have believed but look, you’re reading this by someone’s effort, failure, risks, trial and more trial and then success. That’s exactly what Ocean Gate Expedition Corp did with their experimental vehicle that dived into the ocean last Sunday and got lost till now while all aboard the cruise ran out of oxygen since their supply only took 96 hours for the 5 expedtionists.
What’s more? New solutions will abound. That’s certain!
And new challenges will emerge, another certainty. And life will keep cycling. That’s the beauty of living
Our foreparents who died 500 years ago left without seeing electricity, motor cars, phones, electricity, elevators, oven, or even dressing mirrors. Imagine how common we see this things today. That’s because someone, or some people dared, risked, failed and lastly succeeded in building this things for us. And we go the the store and pick them up without asking how it got here in the first place.
Upon all that’s happened, Nature is always gonna be permanent. Time (whatever it means), is the only factor separating now and such strides by humans.
This sad news is the beginning of new adventures in ocean floor expedition. And someday, humans might even want to be going to ocean floor for vacation as cities might be built in there in the coming millennial. Who knows! Watch out!
People have wedded in the sky, on top of the ocean ad in any open field which, in time past was but a thick forest. Soon, wedding might take place right in the damn ocean floor, 13,000ft below.
My heart goes to the families of those great expeditionists. History will remember them till eternity. And for certainty, they’ve opened a world of new science, adventure, gaming and movies.
It’s a great time to be alive. We live in a crazy world and crazy minds are alive to balance things up. That’s all there’s this. And… it’s just beautiful that nature allows us to think far, wide and weird for exploits.
