>>> A beautiful piece of work, and a great story behind it!
I find it interesting how this fellow built the "Sierra Madre Express" from one "live in" junk railcar,.... he is both intrepid and lucky at the same time, this allowed him to pursue the sub dream. Having Don Walsh http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Walsh as a friend, must have been a big plus also.
This quote from him was interesting though.......
?My recommendation to anybody who wants to build a submarine is don?t build one.?
My question to Mr.. Robbins would then be.......Did you mean a little psub, or an ABS certified, one off / original,..... revenue producing monster?
Thanks for the heads up Paul....will watch this, I'm sure NOVA will do a spectacular job!
