Personal Submarine for 845k

Posted by michael on from the dot-com-stock-options-go-to-good-use dept.

joeldg writes "CNN is carrying a story on the gemini three-person submersible. 'Forget the yacht, mansion and private jet. This is Gemini, the family submarine described by inventor Robert Leeds as the world's first underwater sports car.' However, the submarine only goes about five knots, so speed is not its primary focus. It can handle three people for three days at depths of up to 50 meters. Not quite a James Bond sub-car, but cool nonetheless. The official site has lots of pictures."

    It's better to vote for what you want and not get it than to vote for what you don't want and get it.
