Marianas expedition on NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer

Why are you guys not watching this?, is live and they reached the bottom.
>>8050637
Any new species?
>>8050637
Is this manned or is it a drone?
>>8050641
yes
Camera quality kinda sucks
>>8050735
Buy them a new one rockefeller.
>>8050741
What's the point of watching if you can't make anything out
>>8050720
Confirmed undescribed or are you rusing me?
>>8050745
For the possibility of finding Cthulhu.
>>8050745
Its more to do with the transmission than the camera I think
>>8050751
Then that needs to be worked on
>>8050748
Right now they were talking about an undocumented sponge or something
>>8050751
it seems more to be a video encoding problem. They probably see things very clearly on ship, but something is screwed up while being broadcast to the world.
>>8050760
ET sponge.
This is badass
How long till ocean acidification turns everything into a wasteland? And will we be able to observe this stuff before then?
they're at the bottom? way more life than I was expecting
This is hella cool. Thanks for sharing OP.
>>8050787
Its a geothermal vent complex
how do those "plant" things survive? no sunlight, are they near a vent?
>>8050773
>>8050771
Yeah I was watching the stream yesterday and it was much clearer
>>8050788
Your welcome.
Someone pointed me to this on a thread on /x/
So I watched a couple of hours of blue nothing.
>>8050797
Was /x/ waiting for a sighting of cthulhu?

>>8050800
Obviously.
>>17656472
>>8050790
I think they filter feed
>>8050790
This is a geothermal vent complex, the ecosystem is based on stuff coming out of the vents
>>8050735
Did you make sure to turn on HD on the youtube video?
The artifactiness is probably due to the fact they're pumping HD video from multiple cameras 2 km deep through a fiber optic cable and then a satellite link and then youtube.
More camera views here

>>8050790
it's coral. They tiny animals that grab stuff with tentacles and shove it in their mouth.
>>8050826
Seems like this link has better quality
did that fish try to eat the red dot from the laser pointer?
>>8050840
like detritus? or are there fish stupid enough to get caught down there?
>>8050864
Detritus and plankton
What's that?
hows this quality so fucking bad
>>8050886
Because life isnt a movie
>>8050894
It was better yesterday to be fair. Must be some technical issue
holy shit, did you see that jelly fish swim away?
>>8050912
Fuck, this is worse than bigfoot pictures.
>>8050912
wish we saw more shit like this
coral is boring as fuck
>>8050921
You're boring as fuck
>>8050923
coral detected
this was posted on twitter a 2 hours ago
>>8050960
I wanna fug da fishy
>>8050960
Yeah watched that, it was awesome.
It's a new species?
>>8050773
Lady has such contempt for the ROV operators. WTF is with that bitches problem?
>>8050969
>>8050960
>>8050987
She was getting dick from them before they went in and now she is getting antsy.
>>8051024
is it really okay to just rip this shit out?
a gift from /pol/
RIP Eyeball Sponge Thing
>What's so great about discovery? It's a violent, penetrative act that scars what it explores. What you call discovery, I call the rape of the natural world.
>>8051028
Is /pol/ watching too?
>>8051027
Why not? Are the whales gonna get pissed?
>>8051027
dunno lol
>>8051030
yes.
TRUMP 2016
>>8051030
/pol/'s on it's third thread
>>8051030
Yes, we already had 4 threads before coming here.
>>8051030
Yes we have been watching since yesterday.
>>8051027
it was for science of course it was
>>8051027
how else are they gonna dissect it
>>8051050
>theres no niggers down there
precisely
>>8051050
thats the point, no niggers
>>8051050
That is why
>comms are down
the next scene is where the aliens/monsters get em
>>8051050
>implying that isn't exactly why we like it.
>>8051050
You answered your own question.
>>8051050

this planet belongs to us

>this stream only reinforces my fear of deep water
>>8051096
I wouldn't doubt that it is a disturbance along with the ultra bright lights which disorient the fuck out of them.
>a lot of big guys

>>8051101
**Edit because that post was structured terribly
I wouldn't doubt it.
Also the ultra bright light is blinding.
The fucker called " Cthulhu Watch" Got me banned and my thread removed by reporting me.
Just so he could promote his own thread.
Fuck him.
>we had our team tap some rocks
>None of them are moving
>That makes sense
OKAY
>>8051100
Don't be queer, get wet.
>>8051108
Stars dont have eyes though. Probably the disturbed water
>>8051110
Here is proof.
>>8051110

Thanks man.

that's what they're hoping for
>>8051117
kek
>>8051116
I'm talking about the life down there in general. If the star fish doesn't have eyes wouldn't it still have the ability to detect the presence of that vessel ?
>>8050886
Oh I don't know, maybe because it's being transmitted from the bottom of the fucking ocean?
>>8051110
>>8051133
those would be a cool starfish to have in an aquarium
too bad they probably need like 5 tons of pressure to survive
>>8051138
>I dont see how it would be aware of the light
I agree since they don't have eyes.

>>8051138
could it be sensitive to the heat produced by the bright lights?
>>8051147
Nah, it's probably just that it thought it was a big fish from water disturbances, and noped the fuck out
>>8051147
Possibly, thats not a terrible thought, however it lives in a geothermal vent complex so im not sure how it would notice against the background
>>8051129
>>8051129
>star of David
Oy vey don't tell the goyim about our secret underwater refuge chaim!
>>8051151
>>8051152
OK thanks bros.
why is trump talking about crust
Anybody want to start a deep sea mining company with me?
>>8051164
I'll make the logo!
>>8051164
Only if I get to fuck shit up with a giant claw while livestreaming.
Jesus Christ, who let the stray /pol/tards in?
They're shitting all over the floor.
>>8051164
I'm with you! We can call it, "Your Mom's Vagina Mining Co."
>>8051133
Very interesting. Pluck it!
>Women get cut off
Finally a moment of silence, Carl
>tfw king of the coral
>they are watching water
Oh shit stream ended boat broke everyones suffocating

Very interesting. Pluck it!
>>8051171
Nice contribution.
D+ for effort.
>>8051171
Piss off the nazis are entertaining
>>8051171
we're contributing more than you, cuck.
Here, have some memes and pay respects to the dead eye.
CRETACEOUS
they are at 2km deep, right? is the bluish color of the water due to a tiny amount of sunlight that gets that deep, or is it too deep for sunlight?
SHUT IT DOWN
>>8051190
The acuatic jew at it again
whoa, that thing is fucking neat
>Looks like popcorn
What kind of freaky ass popcorn is this bitch eating?
damn, that's dope
>>8051190
Very interesting. Pluck it!
This is the craziest jellyfish? I've ever seen. Looks like a Christmas tree ornament.
The Deep One will be angered that mortals dare to enter his realm.

DANK!!!
RIP team
>>8051206
Oh look a new pokemon that no one has ever seen before or knew existed EVER!
I wonder what abilities it has and what it will evolve into!?
WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE
WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE RIGHT HERE
AROUND THAT DEEP,PRESSURE SHOULD BE SMASHING THE SHIP/PROBE,WHY HASN'T IT YET?
WHY ISN'T THE SHIP CRUSHING BY THE PRESSURE?
AND,ARE THERE PEOPLE DOWN THERE?
>>8051222
Nice trips,
Awesome that creature was so elegant.
somebody called me?
>>8051228
They're only 1800m deep
Also Spiders under da sea
>>8051228
>Tiny little creatures with what is basically hardened skin can survive the pressure
Yeah, that makes sense!
>Huge wonder of 21st century engineering using only the toughest and most resistant of metal and other materials
WHY ISN'T THAT CRUSHING BECAUSE OF THE PRESSURE HURRRRR

What you doing mate?

Thanks, that thing is awesome.
>>8051267
>cant be doin with this then
>>8051257
>10km depth.
No shit it failed. That's what, 100MPa?
WHHHHHHHY!!!!!!
They shut it down after a whale shark siting!!!!
>>8051279
GOYIM KNEW, THEY JUST HAD TO
>>8051279
NVM I was wrong.
>>8051274
>no shit it failed
you think they went that deep because they knew it would implode? just waste billions of dollars like that? it was designed to go deeper than 10km
>>8051289
>you think they went that deep because they knew it would implode?
No, I think they wanted to go as far as they could. Dealing with those kinds of pressures is incredible difficult, it's not surprising that things fail occasionally.
>>8051297
Nah mate, there are subs that can carry humans to the deepest known parts of the ocean and return
>>8051303
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here?
Only two manned subs have ever gone beyond the 10km line, and neither were small efforts. It's not terribly surprising that things can go wrong under extreme conditions.
We plunkin' it.
Some kind of parasite attached?
Couldn't get a pic..
>>8051328
I got one
>>8051332
This is so cool.
Any marine biologists in here see anything like this?
>>8051337
once, but it was on my dick
Anyone find that geologist annoying as fuck.
Also that conversation yesterday between the pilots yesterday as they were ascending was pretty chill. Wish we could hear them talk more.

This camera's working. Hitting bottom in ~15 mins.
Video seems to be fixed.
>>8050637
wow what a bitter woman
how is the video signal transmitted?
Rock obtained
It's like those claw games in the arcades, except all the prizes are rocks.
>>8050637
the trench or just around the islands?
>>8053376
Through a tin can by the looks of it.
it amazes me how there's still animated life down there
>>8053402
God had a large budget
How far down are they?
>>8053408
large enough for Cthulhu to come out of those cooling cracks?
