Two way ticket ..

Is there the option of a one way ticket? Do they drop you off in the wreck of the Titanic and leave you there?

Maybe it's for if you want rescuing from the wreck.

which wreck. for that kind of money, i hope it's specified.

"Goliath Awaits is a 1981 American made-for-television action adventure science fiction thriller... about an ocean liner sunk by a German U-boat in 1939 whose wreck is discovered in 1981, with over 300 survivors and their descendants living in an air bubble inside the ship."[1]

Watched it as a kid, and it definitely stuck in my head. Quite impressive cast.

And the movie is in the public domain, so you can stream it on the the internet archive!

https://archive.org/details/goliathawaits1981

is it really? the wikipedia article says it was first broadcast in 1981

It was donated to the public domain by the creators. If you follow the link to IA it's explained there.

I don't see it I'm afraid. Yes, it says it's CC0, but that doesn't mean it's actually true...

I mean you have to trust that the IA did their due diligence. I trust them.

It seems that they just did that.

We'd have to look at the details of the contract to see if half of the ticket price is refunded in the event that they bring you to the Titanic but don't bring you back to the surface.

I would prefer to be left there.

You're right, Google showed $125k from other articles and some looking at this earlier (a year or so ago) and $125k sounded right. I guess they doubled it!
