Jeff Karson, a professor emeritus of earth and environmental sciences at Syracuse University, said the temperature is just above freezing, and the vessel is too deep for human divers to get to it. The submersible had seven backup systems to return to the surface, including sandbags and lead pipes that drop off and an inflatable balloon. He said a couple of spares are kept on board “just in case.” “It’s meant for a 16-year-old to throw it around,” and is “super durable,” Rush told the CBC in an interview last year while he demonstrated by throwing the controller around the Titan’s tiny cabin.
