Rush, a former test flight engineer for McDonnell Douglas’ F-15 fighter jet program, had long experience in aerospace and aviation, as well as technology startups by the time he founded OceanGate, according to the company’s website.īefore graduating from Princeton University with a degree in aerospace engineering in 1984 and obtaining a master’s degree in business administration from the University of California in 1989, Rush had obtained his captain’s rating at the United Airlines Jet Training Institute. It was the company’s third annual expedition to the Titanic, which struck an iceberg and sank in 1912, killing all but about 700 of the roughly 2,200 passengers and crew. A Canadian aircraft detected underwater noises in the area, prompting a glimmer of hope Wednesday amid worries about the levels of oxygen present in the vessel. OceanGate’s novel submersible Titan was reported overdue Sunday night off Newfoundland, with Rush and four others onboard, spurring a desperate international search. “There is no private access to the deep ocean, and yet there’s all this life to be discovered.” “One of the reasons I started the business was because I didn’t understand why we were spending 1,000 times as much money to explore space as we were to explore … the oceans,” Rush told a conference held by GeekWire, a Seattle tech news website, last year. OceanGate, the company he founded in 2009, sought not just to profit from bringing wealthy adventurers to sites such as the wreck of the Titanic, but to help scientists and researchers unravel oceanic mysteries by giving them better access to the sea floor than ever before - in vessels that would break the boundaries of how submersibles are developed. (AP) - As other entrepreneurs push the edges of technology to bring well-heeled tourists to space, Stockton Rush saw new opportunities for exploring another frontier: the deep sea.
