It is really cool isn't it? Giant, mighty ship crashes through the ice like a comb through dandruff, then they go 4 km to the bottom of the ocean. The Artic Ocean no less. It's an amazing feat.
Those 90s articles about collapsing Russian science and engineering are, like, so passe. ;) It makes me happy.
Actually as Taibbi pointed out at the time, the "collapsing Russian science and engineering" articles vanished mysteriously when the Space Shuttle blew up and American astronauts had to use Russian ships to reach orbit. The media really are funny.
