There will be A LOT of engineering content in the book --probably more than my editor is ready for

Thanks! Carbon fiber is really feasible as a material, and has been used for (non-crewed) deep ocean vessels, so it sounded plausible to those who assumed Rush would follow all the engineering standards and guidelines. We now know he didn't.

I think he couldn't bear to fail, or to be seen to fail. His identity was so wrapped up in OceanGate, he had to keep moving forward.

I'm still hard at work interviewing people and ploughing through documents for my OceanGate book, which will have more detail and nuance, and a few surprises. It will be published by Norton, although you'll have a little while to wait.

sorry Scott, it was the same day, and just a couple of minutes long. The
Netliix documentary has more of me - it's out June 11.

I'm really sad to leave Anthropocene, as it's a great publication with an important mission, but I'm also excited to focus on my OceanGate book, tentatively titled The Deep End, which I'll be working on for at least the next year. Keep an eye out for updates!

Well done Tom - richly deserved recognition!
