"This is a very hip music choice. The millenials will love it", said the 76 year old in charge of the video project.

By disposable they mean use it and then just leave it out in the ocean for thousands of years

[@LanceWinslow]

Wow, that's really amazing.

[@Aerospaceman]

Why not test at the Navys submarine test facility in Washington State?

[@shadow.banned]

Would've loved to see it functional. Underwater.

I try to link people to helpful forms and other TH-cam video guides and it all gets blocked but dumb shit like above somehow slips by.

[@mattnobrega6621]

Pretty dope!

[@dizingof]

Awesome.

This music is dirtier than Robert De Niros acting.

This is a very expensive 3D printed model of a submarine. IS A MODEL. A $60,000 MODEL and the 3D printer that probably cost a million dollar or more.

[@angryreader8857]

Assuming TH-cam algorithm is compromised, they are getting some sweet DoD money

[@mstrainjr]

Great, it just took about 10 years to print...

[@greyeminence9536]

month

C'mon ORNL stop figuring out better ways to kill people and go back to the molten salt reactor!

[@10bbremer]

Wait until the narcos get hold of this.

[@mstrainjr]

But can we 3D print bacon?

[@wbchaney]

M. Strain Jr. Nope. They keep running out of bacon ink.

[@arthurdduda8233]

but what's it good for ? Do they have a use for them before they go spending our tax dollars on it?
