Wonder if Trump will show his face to get booooooood again.
Also...always been fascinated by submarine life. That has to be the weirdest experience. Wonder if Soldier has any info on submarine fun facts.
I couldnt do it, too claustrophobic.
Claustrophobia isn't really the problem, it's cabin fever. Imagine inviting about 30 acquaintances over to your house, painting over the windows, and shutting off the phone, internet, and television. Now stay in the house for 60-90 days. One guy at a time can look out the peephole on the front door.
That's pretty much how it is.
lol..that sounds miserable.
I guess im surprised but also not surprised they dont have internet down there somehow.
It sucks when you're out there, but then you pull in someplace and you're like, "that was pretty badass".
If you want another trivia bit, here you go: modern nuclear submarines are the most complex machines ever devised by man. They require all the same life-support systems as the space shuttle or ISS, as well as sensors to detect the enemy and weapons to kill him.
The inertial navigation system (my baby on the boat) works by monitoring the movement of the boat, and is so sensitive that the gravitational pull of the sun and moon produce a slight but measurable error in the position output known as the 24 Hour Earth Loop error.
