Yeah, must've been an experience. I find it fascinating how humans are able to do these things for the first time with such a basic equipment. Just like early diving. And going to the Moon in a tincan and piece of foil.
@@kristiankoski3908 Oh man, the ones that always ring in my head are the test pilots around the late fourties through the fifties, the chuck yeagers and otherwise. They sent some hairy aircraft up there! Incredible engineering, too, but cartoonishly sketchy
@@Mccaigg damn right one of my favourite games think I was 9 or 10 when I played the first one on Xbox nostalgia to the max , never played infinite though after the ending of number two I didn’t like the idea of being on the surface
If I remember history correctly, a modern version of the diving bell system was used during the Squalus rescue in the 30s, and it was pretty damn effective save for some winch troubles. The only difference was they used an air hose leading to the surface rather than sending down an air tank (like the barrel) separately.
