Kalashnikov-47 Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Why is ROVs at that depth far fetched ? They've been much deeper than that, Titanic is deeper than that ... Gregg Titanic is at 12,460 feet, Bismarck is at 15,700 feet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark M. Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I can understand a submersible with its own onboard ROV (like the ones that visited Titanic so many times) but a simple ROV with no submersible to launch from? After looking at the article again I noticed there was a slide show with many more pictures. I redact my "hoax" comment after seeing more. I guess I was thrown off by Fox News' wonderful reporting technique (rolls eyes) P.S. Anybody else think it looks a little like a certain indiginous life form on Ceti Alpha V? KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lucien Harpress Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 It's isn't far-fetched. The Titanic was FOUND by a "simple" ROV not launched from a manned vehicle. In fact, ROVs can go DEEPER than manned submersibles, because you don't need to worry about keeping people alive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
