[PSUBS-MAILIST] Deep Sea Challenger

[via Personal_Submersibles]

Merry Christmas, Scott,
 
The 43" sphere is steel 2.5" thick.  I don't think they have  released any 
information on what grade steel was used.  They said a  cylinder would have 
had to be three times as thick to withstand the pressure,  but I don't know 
if that was based on 43".  -Jim T.
