You guys gotta picture of what you're talking about?
Re: that "Building the Impossible" thing. Did anybody else get the impression that (A) the whole "time's running out" thing was an arbitrary and annoying contrivance? ...And (B) The sub was built -- not by "the team" -- but by the wooden-boat-builder guy, who also came up with most of the important ideas on how to build it? Weak, dude: they didn't even get in it. Why pick a group of people with no prior knowledge or interest in submarines, who have no experience thinking about these problems? Did they just pick names out of the phone book? But gee that English engineer-lady was pretty. And so was the finished boat.
