Some of you have been following no doubt the story of the tourist submarine that would

go down to look at the Titanic, right?

The CEO of Oceangate, Stockton Rush, is on record saying he didn't want to hire 50-year-old

white guys to work for the company because they're not inspirational.

He didn't want 50-year-old white guys listening to this.

When I start business, one of the things you'll find there are other sub operators out there

but they typically have gentlemen who are ex-military sub-mariners and you will see

a whole bunch of 50-year-old white guys.

I wanted our team to be younger, to be inspirational and I'm not going to inspire a 16-year-old

to go pursue marine technology, but a 25-year-old who's a sub-pilot or a platform operator or

one of our techs can be inspirational.

So we've really tried to get very intelligent, motivated, younger individuals involved because

we're doing things that are completely new.

We're taking approaches that are used largely in the aerospace industry as related to safety

and some of the preponderance of checklists, things we do for risk assessments and things

And we can train people to do that.

We can train someone to pilot the sub.

We use a game controller.

So anybody can drive the sub.
