It took like 4.5 billion years to get to the moon. If only took like 100 years to get to the Titanic.

Some people made it to the titanic wreck quite fast.
As soon as it formed in fact. >

Probably you still have more people in the titanic than the dozen folks that have been in the moon >

Several times more, in fact >

We knew exactly where the moon was.  The Titanic, not exactly. >

Also the moon was up there for around 4 billion years; the Titanic was only down there for a hundred years or so as a comparison of attempts. >

by the time we got to the moon, it was down there for only 57 years >

Lot of people went to the Titanic site, they just didn't come back. >

As a counterpoint, we reached the bottom of the Marianas trench about a decade before going to the Moon, which is around 3 times deeper than the Titanic. >

I think the moon’s a bit more than 3 times deeper than the Titanic. It’s pretty big. >

Nope he’s right, the moon is exactly 3 times deeper than the Titanic

The ocean is hard.  There's like, stuff in there and its all thick and stuff.  Space is empty and easy and has almost no stuff.  Its not thick at all.  EZ choice. >

Space with rice, 10/10. >

Well the Titanic wreckage wasn’t going anywhere, the moon though, that bitch was always on the move. >

It gets closer to us every daya >

Heck, the first person to put wheels on luggage only did it in 1970, carry-on luggage as we know it today, with two wheels and a retractable handle didn't show up until 1987.
Sometimes, it take some time... >

It also took them far too long to cut the bottom out of a basketball hoop basket/net. They even invented a trapdoor that would still have to be manually opened before they realized they didn't need a bottom on the thing at all. >

well... yeah. It turns out keeping one atmosphere INSIDE a capsule and breatheable is WAY EASIER then doing that WHILE KEEPING MORE THAN 150 ATMOSPHERES OUT AT THE SAME TIME. >


keeping more then 150  

Did you mean to say "more than"?

I did... oof. >

Wow, that's quite a feat! It just goes to show how far we've come in terms of exploration and technology, and yet there's still so much out there to uncover. >

Going to the moon is weirdly enough magnitudes easier than exploring the bottom of the ocean. The Titanic lies at about 3800 meters depth, which translates to a pressure of roughly 380 times higher than at sea level. For reference, the pressure in space is between 1 and 0 >

That's over 150 atmospheres of pressure. How many can the ship take? Well it's a spaceship so I'd say anywhere between zero and one. >

Thank you for your service >

They weren't done filling the insurance paperwork and eyes on the wreck would mean that the Britannia sank instead. >

A space capsule only has to survive zero to one atmospheres of pressure. A deep diving submersible has to take much more extreme pressure. (380atm at Titanic's depth) >

We knew where the moon was before we knew where the Titanic was. >

If the Soviet’s were looking for the titanic instead of going to the moon we would of done that too. And found it would have been found sooner. >


we would of done  

Did you mean to say "would have"?
Explanation: You probably meant to say could've/should've/would've which sounds like 'of' but is actually short for 'have'.

Bro we’ve explored more of the moon than we have our own oceans chew on that for a bit >

And we keep finding bigger squid, we're running out of names past giant, already at colossal, what's next, gigasquid?
I'm starting to think the kraken eating ships was real at some point in "recent" human history. >

Chad squid >

Just like the fake Titanic sinking.
