So that tweet did some numbers overnight 😱

Welcome to the new followers! Did you read something that made you think about the #deepsea in a new way & want to see some deep sea science in action? Have I got some live ROV dive sources for ya! The big 3 groups doing live broadcasts of deepsea science are @EVNautilus, @SchmidtOcean, and @oceanexplorer. @Ocean_Networks also occasionally broadcasts their cabled observatory servicing cruises. Check them out! Summer is when scientists do a lot of work at sea!

Okay, so let's talk about this, bc everyone is acting like this is some kind of clue that the vehicle was doomed from the getgo. Brief thread here. You can't just *buy* submersible systems off the shelf. Most research submersible systems are built ✨by the org that owns the vehicle✨ The presence of a video game controller is not the "gotcha" everyone thinks it is.
