- Victor Vescovo is leading the first-ever manned expedition to the deepest point of each of the world's five oceans. In conversation with TED science curator David Biello, Vescovo discusses the technology that's powering the explorations -- a titanium submersible designed to withstand extraordinary conditions -- and shows footage of a never-before-seen creature taken during his journey to the bottom of the Indian Ocean.

It's sad that everyone knows Elon Musk but nobody has heard about Victor Vescovo ,this 7 minutes does not do justice to the achievement here and deserves more coverage
Elon Musk has a very charming persona, This guy is a much better scientist but sadly public speaking may not be one of his strong points
surprisingly no top comments talking about Victor looking like the Lanister from Game of Thrones
Well that is very nice of you to say, thank you, sir.
Its true never heard of this guy
Its sad that everyone knows Elon Musk? Thats quite ignorant and just silly of you ask me.........maybe you should read a little more about what Elon has done in his life.
Wish you hadn't had the other guy asking questions he wasted to much of your precious time
i wish TED didn't waste your time for learning english
@@saucybackport boy u petty
@@saucybackport you are a joke and jumping of a tall object is always an option
Honestly the man is a legend, he was an officer in the air force or navy(forgot), became a self made millionaire, climbed 5 of the highest peaks of the world including k2 and everest, and now by his own hand and check dived down to the 5th deepest points on the earth. He deserves a longer interview, a better host and better questions
Agree. I think he deserves a life documentary (not just the excellent Expedition Deep Ocean). Such an interesting story and amazing for science/exploration
When he was asked “so Victor, what have you been up to?”, he should have instead replied with “well, the real question is what have I been down to”.
hAHHAH!! This is my favorite comment.
Hope they don't polute n destroy another part of this beautiful mother earth!! Sucks!
he said he was up on mountains as well)
Shane Richardson He could also ask guest Paris Hilton who she has been down on.
or.. '..what have I been high on!'.
These questions really dull down the whole talk. This sounds like an advertisement. Could have been really cool though and all respect to the engineers and people involved in this.
Exactly! Has the same kind of bland tone & narrative-navigation that you typically only see in cheap late night infomercials. Sounds like something completely orchestrated by a publishing company... There's ALL this amazing substance yet they chose to portray these incredible endeavors through the angle of some type of egomaniac, which I personally think is a shame. Its weird because its like the "but wait there's more" format but instead of for the product, its for a person.
That's because it IS an advertisement. He literally said the entire goal of their project is to put this submarine into the hands of scientists around the globe.
@@jackhammer8061 that's why private explorers actually suck at contributing to humankind's greater-known-knowledge. If this were funded by any state university or lab, it would be published as a proper documentary. The best privateers are the ones like this, who can tell you they are a privateer going into a pitch but make you almost forget during their pitch. The incredibly awkward interaction here served as a perfect distraction from, and segue into the sales-pitch.
TED is not wikipedia - TED is a for profit company selling ad space on youtube
@@saucybackport tedx talks are a modern soap box format for anyone to step up and give their two cents to whoever will listen. The part where TED profits is when they find a good video from one of the independant tedx archives, and throw it up on this channel for the free ad revenue. TEDx is definitely not adspace. Its an inverted writers guild fueled by orators without a guild to protect the profits of their speeches.
I like the dude and what he has to say, but the rehearsed interview style is absolutely cringe
It is better than him keeping to himself and not sharing such an amazing adventure. Many really intelligent individuals lack people skills, and the ability to connect well with a general audience. He was obviously a bit nervous. The footage was "courtesy of the Discovery Channel." So he probably has some kind of public appearances and promotions contract associated with that.
@@UpcycleElectronics I don't mind less good public speaking (although of course it is better if it is there) and I've seen plenty of those talks that I still liked. However, in this style of completely rehearsed interview style it is quite annoying and just makes it worse. He already uses a slide show, just put the questions on there and let him read them himself.
Yeah, sorry. I did my best under a very short time to prepare and under the constraints of the format they provided. I tried my best to make it interesting.
@@victorvescovo5773 this was more interesting to me than all the space exploration that has been done to be honest. You are doing amazing work! Thank you for doing what you do!
@@victorvescovo5773 is that actually you or a fake account
I don't like this format.
Video with synchronized audio?
@@GodsAutobiography Useless presenter on a video with synchronized audio.
@@ortega6211 the diver or the unnecessary guy on the side?
My guess is it's because the presenter won't or can't maintain a proper presentation, so there is a interviewer to keep the conversation flowing.
this an ad for commercial deep diving company and that presenter is TED executive
I just want to see hours and hours of the undersea footage! Can't wait!
Discovery Channel tells me they will show the series at the end of this year. Hope so. I can't wait for people to see it.
@@victorvescovo5773 Thank you for being so kind and took time to reply to so many comments, it means a lot to is Mr. Vescovo!
We wish you godspeed
Really??! I'm sure you could just watch a 5 minute clip on a loop and not know the difference.
Looks like we got a dum dum here

bruh sound effect 2 wdym captain obvious lmao he was just saying wut he thought of the ocean
@@user-g59 ok
No offense meant to David Biello but please don't use this format again. Mr. Vescovo's expedition sounded very interesting; he seemed personable and would have kept the audience engaged on his own.
Every time they dive, even for a couple hours they find 3 or 4 new species o.O this is just mind-blowing. Amazing job by those people. I can't wait to see the results of this research she exploration.
@Zfast4you We? 99.9% of all species who ever lived have gone extinct without our help.
What ever floats your boat mate....
Zfast4you damn. So many tears. It’ll be okay.
@Will Pack so either we achieve everything on this planet or it counts for nothing. Great logic bro.
@Will Pack that's some idealistic bullshit that "sounds nice" but doesn't apply to the real world. My point was that even though we can't learn everything it doesn't mean that learning some is useless. It's not all or nothing. There is value in between too.
This would've been much better as a monologue. The "discussion" was cringy.... amazing project though.
Victor, your intelligence, drive and passion have brought you incredible success. Your research is so important and so anticipated by us all. We can’t wait to see what you find in the depths. Thank you!
You are extremely kind. Thank you!
"Yeah, like Elon but i'm riding my own vehicle"
I'm dead xD
Not yet!
This dude looks like a Hollywood caricature of a dude who leads expeditions to the bottom of the ocean.
Well, I wish I didn't look like a caricature, but at least I look like a guy that goes to the bottom of the oceans? Not sure I know how to change what I look like.
i thought, more of a villain...but he sounds like a lovely guy
Victor Vescovo you did an absolutely amazing job, and the topic I think is incredibly interesting but very few people know that much about our amazing oceans
He looks a little like Sean Connery from The Hunt for Red October, which is awesome!
@@victorvescovo5773 victor, did you use anybody from the russian sub program, ie alfa class in your titanium work? the sum of knowledge of titanium submersibles must have proliferated after the fall of the soviet union, a lot of ground breaking tech was created around that class of sub.. or was this a progression of the "trieste" program, or..an amalgam? cool that you can do thousands of cycles on that hull and be safe, designing the hatch and portals must have been an nightmare..
I just wanna see them bring something down to watch the pressure crush it
OpiatedBliss I think I have an idea
@@shawneeg214 *Yoink!*
On this episode: Trump toupee and latest Katy Perry CD!
That is so funny you say that. Actually, on our dives we take down Styrofoam cups that we draw designs on and the water crushes them to about half their size. We bring them back up and give them to family and friends just to show how much pressure is down there (16,000 psi at the Challenger Deep). Yeah, I should have brought one to how.
DANGER WILL ROBINSON !! CRUSH, KILL, DESTROY !!
Congratulations! Billions spent every year to make weapons, and we can't spend more on learning about the planet?

@@williamstalvey6920 Yapp, You'r right. Freedom isn't free.
@@williamstalvey6920 Ironic that you don't have much freedom in the US then. You clearly have internet access though, so use your friend Google and learn how the rest of us are able to gain freedom, without all these insane amounts of weapon floating the streets. It is possible. That being said, I do agree that freedom is not one should take for granted.
A)"it's like putting Eiffel tower on your toe"...
B)"Ah it's more than that ,it's about 16000 PSI"...
C)🤔...🙄
Neil Sangte I’m pretty sure he Said 60,000
“Pressure per square inch” If I’m not mistaken
RandomRoulette :’(
Yeah, I flubbed that a little. I meant to be clear and say "16,000 pounds per square inch." It is the equivalent to the weight of three Nimitz-class aircraft carriers sitting on top of the entire sub (if it was in a tub of water that the carriers were sitting on). It is a crazy amount of pressure. It was very difficult to engineer all the systems that could handle that pressure, and still work normally on the surface.
@@victorvescovo5773 I really appreciate you taking the time to clear this up.
Victor is tremendously accomplished. It's great to see a founder of a Private Equity firm using proceeds to fund these projects versus spending it on lavish homes, boats and things just for themselves. Shows that you can have a typical white collar career/background but your interests and pursuits can be just as impactful/interesting.
@TED Once this technology goes global, what effect(s) are we going to be having on the ecosystem down there? We're talking about a place where nothing is used to being exposed to light--creatures, plants, etc.
The interviewer needs to find another job
Agreed
JohnnyCacao he seemed out of place. Mr deep dive sounded more than capable of doing his own presentation alone
3:23 "If Something really goes wrong in a submersible, you're not gonna know it." -Yikes. RIP Titan
I really like his shirt, sweater jacket combo, cudo's!
Gregor Miller hair too
6:26 "It just drifted across beautifully.." *cuts away when the baby is about to hit the lander*
dont worry the baby is **stronk** just like mugi
Smash em in the nuts, damn sea creatures are wasting precious tax dollars.
Meanwhile I’m scared to fly in a plane
its safer than driving and u get peanuts or chips but u cant have both
Lostpockets 222 I never said it was rational
Really didn’t know the Atlantic Bottom has never been explored! Pretty cool 😎 ♥️
Most of the ocean is still a mystery due to our technology and that's why less people visited the Mariana Trench than the Moon.
Definitely cool! This video is a little misleading though. The DSV Alvin has been diving to the bottom of the ocean before this dude was born. He should have been clearer that he has been to a deeper part than previously explored. Still most of the ocean is unexplored, which is craziness!
This guy has the name of a bond villain but is just about the nicest wealthy person I've ever heard of.
One thousand dives later: finds Cthulhu
LMAOOO
It's all fun and games until you awaken an Ancient Evil lmao
That would be awesome - and kind of scary.
Cthulhu has already found us.
So he spent like- days submerged where no man has gone before and all we got was 1 min of footage with two fishies? LMAO
I thought exactly the same... i mean what is it like to be more than 7000meters down the ocean? I expected an answer like... its an overwhelming feeling, somehow scary but with butterflys in the stomache, and the creatures very exotic...starts with his diashow of the creatures he has found.
But no somehow we ended up knowing the name of the guy who was there, where he is from, and what date. And that the pressure down there is 60 000 PSI and the submarine is build out of titanium.
Im sure he loves the nummericsystem more than anything else....
But anyway it was nice that he showed up. I respect him for that. Well done
what did ya expect, high traffic and a disney musical?
@@tommywiseau_ m.th-cam.com/video/ANpau_OVBSE/w-d-xo.html
Oh, we got a lot more . . . we just can't show it until Discovery shows it in the five-part series coming this winter. They would only let me show the clips shown. Apologies.

Very nice!
3:24 is what happened to those People are on board in the cheap Ocean Gate's Titan Submersible... Victor Vescovo You are a Legend....!!! Ocean Gate Needs Serious Lessons to Learn From this Man.
Very interesting, but this presentation format is an awkward combination of an interview and a presentation to an audience; the presenter responds to the interviewer's questions without directly acknowledging him, as if the audience was the one who asked them. I think cool content like this would be a lot more engaging if you just stuck to either format.
This is so fascinating - thank you for sharing your work, Victor! I'm looking forward to hearing more about these dives. One of the subjects I teach on in some of my science classes is the bottom of the ocean, but it's really hard to teach a subject that we know so little about. While I appreciate the work Elon is doing, this, to me, is so much more important and it's not comparable.
Well thank you!
Go down bermuda triangle and you might find leviathan...you might not come back.
Maybe they'll find Atlantis? Or Bikini Bottom?
Atlantis is in the eye of Africa.
Was going to mention the Eye of Africa.
The levels are mund blowing...
@@timothyappleseed2986 since you know of the eye of Africa...do you know about Mudfossiluniversity YT channel too?
@@wegapaul3616 yes. I also know about the family portrait in the beard of Africa, the two 80 mile long statues on the sea floor, giant 10 mile wide tree stumps, 8 mile wide tire tracks, and the giant land art in North America.
The land art in NA is about 800 miles long front north to south. It looks similar to the family portrait in the Beard of Africa, including a white man, a black woman an infant, an older daughter or young maid and a red dog.
It is flanked by another (larger) face to the north west looking down on it.
The only man in the world I would accept as a step father
Can y’all imagine what all we’ll find in the oceans? There’s so much we’ve yet to discover. Amazing.
I totally agree . . which is one of the big reasons we started off on this adventure. We really had no idea what we might find.
@@victorvescovo5773 there might be unknown species down there that can help the human race cure diseases with their genetics. My uncle just died from ALS and doctors weren't much help to him. Who knows, maybe you'll find a new species, like that awesome jelly you found, that can significantly help us. I feel like all the genetics answers we need to solve our most "incurable" diseases are in the species that are all around us. We just need to make sure we don't kill off those species before we can solve these problems. Good luck to you Victor, keep up the good work!
I hope this gets used to search the old shore lines from when the ice age was near its maximum and sea levels were 400 feet lower. Most of our civilization lives on the shores now all across the world.... why wouldnt out ancestors. Archeologists and oceanic scientists need to merge to find our real history.
We already have many subs capable of searching those areas.
He should hire someone to run social media pages for him. They could post the new species whenever they dive and they'll probably get a decent following. That would help him spread his name and possibly even get funding for further projects... maybe?
Well if he hasn't ready, I just know he doesn't have a insta page.
be carefull what you say one day Elon will take you with him in the rocket and Elon will go dive deep 😂😂 Great Video!! 95 procent unexplored Cant wait till we discover Beautifull things
Thank you! And I hope to up in space one day.
Set the speed to 0.75
You're welcome.
So this Ocengate guy sees Victor going to the bottom over and over and over with a titanium craft and thinks he is some sort of genius for experimenting with carbon fiber? My God
I get that the presenter maybe was nervous and needed the other guy so it wont be any awkward silent moments but what I dont get is why didnt they just show more video footage of the new found speices ?
I wonder if they will ever release the raw footage of the outside camera dives. The ocean terrifies me, but I love learning about it and I never thought it would be possible to see the bottom of the Mariana Trench. The Discovery channel didn't sate my thirst for seeing video of the ocean's bottom. It was still nice to see what little I was able. Honestly I think this man is one of my new heroes...
That's a great suit. I wish the other guy was better at knowing when to step back from questioning.
This guy looks like the father of Jason Mamoa (Aquaman) . What a Coincidence !
Haha! Thank you. I could only be so lucky. Jason Mamoa is awesome as Aquaman.
Sir@@victorvescovo5773 , Firstly sorry to call you as a 'Guy' .Sir you are doing a really great job . I am quite Surprised by the broadness of your mind and the greatness of your heart that you replied to my stupid comment . I truly appreciate your work and even have deeper respect for you in my heart then the deepest depth of the ocean you have discovered . Again really sorry for addressing you as a 'Guy' .Please keep Discovering and lastly "YOU ARE THE REAL LIFE AQUAMAN "(without a trident but with a Titanium Submersible)
3 years ago and and he is a save bet to do deep dive submersibles right. Shame others are doing it to get rich whilst being terribly unsafe and costing others their life.
Fantastic! I hope they don't find any plastic at the bottom of the ocean
Well, we did at the Puerto Rico, Mariana, and Java trenches, but -not- in the Southern Ocean. I am hoping we don't find anything in the Arctic ocean. We'll be there in two weeks.
with all due credit and respect to victor whats the chances of victor just starting up his own show which we all would learn from a man who has really conqered just about everything as the ocean is so facinating scary and deadly how knows what we will see
what a cool dude we need more humans like him love this guy
Thank you very much. That was very kind of you to say.
Too much Jules Verne? No such thing.
I totally agree. You have wonderful taste.
How about using this technology to clean the oceans out of plastics
@White Man Jesus -_-
If pressure is so high that u need special ship then how those small fish survive such extreme pressure?
Elon ain’t got time for dat we tryna find aliens boi 😂
Victor is an amazing guy. This interview or Ted doesn't do him justice. He's very well spoken but he was given very little time
*_Anybody realized the real VICTOR VESCOVO does really reply to most of the people in the comment section?_*
*_So kind of him tbh, and I really admire him for this amazing achievement_*
Coming Next: You can buy a BigMac at the Bottom of the Ocean.
Sure why not ruin the last untouched enviroments left on Earth.
Not really sure if that's the best way to look at this
Why can’t these people find the lost airplanes with this amazing sonar? Lol
In all seriousness though, this truly is amazing work. I love the idea of finding things that have never thought to exist before
Thank you! We can't use the sonar to find airplanes because the sonar doesn't have the resolution to tell the difference between airplane parts and rocks at those very deep depths. I wish I could go find the Malaysian Airlines jet but we really don't know where to look and if we did, our tools can't really do that. Our system is optimized for doing marine research for primarily marine biology and geology.
This is absolutely amazing and quite intriguing but I got to say you are the mirror image of Vlad Masters 😂
Why was the host there? Apart from wrangling that pony tail. Just let the bloke talk.
Yeah I'm not liking this interview format
*Reads the title of the video and immediately thinks Spongebob Squarepants

why did he look at his watch when he said "we go down in, like, two weeks"...?
He's a private equity investor, how long before he starts commercializing deep sea dives?
He's a used submersible car salesmen 😆
Love that the ship is called the Pressure Drop. One of my favorite songs of all time.
Well, I actually named it after the ship in Ian Banks' "Culture" science fiction series. I have to listen to that song now . . .

Incredible 😭
So if the dinosaurs were wiped out by a asteroid on land would it be safe to assume that there is something in the water that wasn’t wiped out.
Finally an actual talk.
The interviewer is so annoying.
What an exciting time we're living in! We're opening up the space and now we're opening up the oceans too :)
Adventure.
Exploration of water & space
has been a long time coming.
I am excited for the first time
in decades. Thank you.
I hope to see more.

A salesman pitch gone wrong.
Amazing! I have a feeling Elon is going to reply to this.
Me too. He hasn't yet, though.
“So... not too much kinda freaks you out is what I’m guessing?”
what will humans eventually use this for? to do more killing and poluting?
Hoping we use it to do a lot more marine science. 80+% of the ocean floor remains unexplored. I truly believe that science, maybe more than anything else, will help us find away from killing and polluting.
One person I really respect; incredible task oriented individual.....just Amazing accomplishments!
Interesting subject matter, poorly executed presentation. It came across as canned and awkward.
This explorer needs a stage, 2-3 hours, a PowerPoint video clicker and for the interviewer to leave the stage.
I would think twice before riding in a sub that was built by someone that dressed like a character from the Pirates of the Caribbean
Haha. That was funny. I've debated cutting my hair shorter.
Funny, most people who've had breakthroughs in almost all fields look the way do because, honestly, there are more important matters than "when can I buy the new Jordans"
@@ahmadzeidan1200 True. And I was in the military twenty years (Navy) and had to keep my hair really short, so I wanted to grow it long just once. Honest truth.
1. Have they meassured the pressure downthere?
2. Does it differ from any other spot? (same depth for eg).
3. Wished to see more footage!
4. The guy has good humour of when things go wrong lol
Answrs: 1) Yes. Quite precisely, too. 2) Oh yes, they differ a lot by location. 3) It's coming . . Discovery Channel series this winter. 4) And yes, you can never lose your sense of humor, even when you're four hours from the surface and something goes wrong . . .
@@victorvescovo5773 mr. Vescovo how many is the pressure downthere at the locations where you spoke about at the bottoms of the sea? i'm very curious about that, and thank you for telling me about the Discovery Channel series! what is the series that will be broadcasted about your trips to the bottom of the seas?
This would have been such an interesting speech. The interviewer made it so dull.
Well, hopefully they'll let me do a "regular" TED talk next time.
And this is how the human race awakened Cthulu
I had to google a quite a few more questions about our oceans out of curiosity just to even find out who this man is all accidently and I'm awestruck.
I’d love to join this expedition as a witness testimony :) and bring back experiences :) as long as the giant squid stays away lol 😂
Ah yes, the magnificent *assfish*
wonderful... finally a non-motivational speech with lots of blahblah
i wish ocean gates hired this man
We will discover *powerful things in the deep.*
If they can survive the intense pressure, they can be super powerful under normal pressure.
7:28 *checks his watch, which reads up to 24 hours, to confirm that another dive will happen in two weeks* 😂
in all serious, I wish this guy good luck! We need to see more underwater explorers to understand what’s going on in our beautiful earth
Actually, I was looking at the date!
I hope Victor Vescovo will discover really something new and incredible that we never seen before. Ocean is so mysterious in the bottom.
Dr. Vescovo one the first person along side of Dr. Onda from the Philippines to get into the bottkm of the world's 3rd deepest trench - Emdeen Deep/Philippine Trench.
You guys are legend!
I can tell his ego is as big as the depths of the ocean the way he acted when the man compared his submarine expedition to space x
Crazed 357 I think the awkward interviewer made that parallel
Are you dumb it's the interviewer who brought it in that direction
I think he was teasing in admiration and respect. He didn't seem hinky offering to trade joy rides. I think he meant it because he wants to fly.
Really impressive. More people should do this.
I’d like to see what’s at the bottom of the Java Trench. I guess I’ll have to take his word and jokes. Hahaha, not funny. It’s like Neil Armstrong coming back and solely using words to describe the journey to and on the moon.
I wanted to know more about what you discovered down there.
