    my sentiments exactly. its unbelievable that their "key" fail safe (the shut off valve) instantly failed. why are they acting so confused?...they should have 10 backup plans in place for something this complex and dangerous. its just frustrating, that's all.

    IMO One shot at getting it right is way better than sitting around with thier heads **********. I wonder if they will have to wait for perfectly calm seas etc. before making the attempt or if the GPS adjusters are accurate enough to compensate for swell, wind, current etc.
