Stockton Rush, the CEO of OceanGate and pilot of the Titan submersible that imploded on an expedition to the Titanic wreck in June, killing all five passengers, has since been the target of criticism for the engineering of the craft. In a 2021 interview that has resurfaced, he appears to admit that he has "broken some rules" in constructing the Titan. "I'd like to be remembered as an innovator. I think it was General [Douglas] MacArthur who said, 'You're remembered for the rules you break,'" Mr Rush said while speaking to vlogger and actor Alan Estrada. "And I've broken some rules to make this. I think I've broken them with logic and good engineering behind me." The Titan was destroyed in a catastrophic implosion, instantly killing Rush, as well as Pakistani businessman and his son, Shahzada and Suleman Dawood; British businessman Hamish Harding; and French diver Paul-Henri Nargeolet. "The carbon fiber and titanium – there's a rule you don't do that," Mr Rush said, speaking of the materials used to construct the sub. "Well, I did. It's picking the rules that you break that are the ones that will add value to others and add value to society, and that really to me is about innovation." He continued: "Innovation is when you take an invention and you make it accepted broadly. And maybe think of ocean exploration like space exploration, because this is where we're going to find the strange new life forms. The future of mankind is underwater. It's not on Mars. "We're not going to have a base on Mars or the Moon. We'll try it we'll waste a lot of money. "We will have a base underwater, because when the sun extinguishes, there will still be hydrothermal vents, and){kind=link}
