- Victor Vescovo is leading the first-ever manned expedition to the deepest point of each of the world's five oceans. In conversation with TED science curator David Biello, Vescovo discusses the technology that's powering the explorations -- a titanium submersible designed to withstand extraordinary conditions -- and shows footage of a never-before-seen creature taken during his journey to the bottom of the Indian Ocean.

It's sad that everyone knows Elon Musk but nobody has heard about Victor Vescovo ,this 7 minutes does not do justice to the achievement here and deserves more coverage
Elon Musk has a very charming persona, This guy is a much better scientist but sadly public speaking may not be one of his strong points
surprisingly no top comments talking about Victor looking like the Lanister from Game of Thrones
Well that is very nice of you to say, thank you, sir.
Its true never heard of this guy
Its sad that everyone knows Elon Musk? Thats quite ignorant and just silly of you ask me.........maybe you should read a little more about what Elon has done in his life.
Honestly the man is a legend, he was an officer in the air force or navy(forgot), became a self made millionaire, climbed 5 of the highest peaks of the world including k2 and everest, and now by his own hand and check dived down to the 5th deepest points on the earth. He deserves a longer interview, a better host and better questions
Agree. I think he deserves a life documentary (not just the excellent Expedition Deep Ocean). Such an interesting story and amazing for science/exploration
When he was asked “so Victor, what have you been up to?”, he should have instead replied with “well, the real question is what have I been down to”.
hAHHAH!! This is my favorite comment.
Hope they don't polute n destroy another part of this beautiful mother earth!! Sucks!
he said he was up on mountains as well)
Shane Richardson He could also ask guest Paris Hilton who she has been down on.
or.. '..what have I been high on!'.
I just want to see hours and hours of the undersea footage! Can't wait!
Discovery Channel tells me they will show the series at the end of this year. Hope so. I can't wait for people to see it.
@@victorvescovo5773 Thank you for being so kind and took time to reply to so many comments, it means a lot to is Mr. Vescovo!
We wish you godspeed
Really??! I'm sure you could just watch a 5 minute clip on a loop and not know the difference.
Looks like we got a dum dum here
@@FlyingBalcony And I suppose you're the all seeing Oracle of knowledge??
Yeah that's right, you're not.
Victor Vescovo, thank you for doing this important work.
Thank you!
R B not really
Oceans are so incredibly majestic and mysterious.
Hey Captain Obvious, when does the next hotels .com commercial home out
@@JewishCowboy hey shuttup
@@lostpockets2227 that's not very nice of you
bruh sound effect 2 wdym captain obvious lmao he was just saying wut he thought of the ocean
@@user-g59 ok
Wish you hadn't had the other guy asking questions he wasted to much of your precious time
i wish TED didn't waste your time for learning english
@@saucybackport boy u petty
@@saucybackport you are a joke and jumping of a tall object is always an option
These questions really dull down the whole talk. This sounds like an advertisement. Could have been really cool though and all respect to the engineers and people involved in this.
Exactly! Has the same kind of bland tone & narrative-navigation that you typically only see in cheap late night infomercials. Sounds like something completely orchestrated by a publishing company... There's ALL this amazing substance yet they chose to portray these incredible endeavors through the angle of some type of egomaniac, which I personally think is a shame. Its weird because its like the "but wait there's more" format but instead of for the product, its for a person.
That's because it IS an advertisement. He literally said the entire goal of their project is to put this submarine into the hands of scientists around the globe.
@@jackhammer8061 that's why private explorers actually suck at contributing to humankind's greater-known-knowledge. If this were funded by any state university or lab, it would be published as a proper documentary. The best privateers are the ones like this, who can tell you they are a privateer going into a pitch but make you almost forget during their pitch. The incredibly awkward interaction here served as a perfect distraction from, and segue into the sales-pitch.
TED is not wikipedia - TED is a for profit company selling ad space on youtube
@@saucybackport tedx talks are a modern soap box format for anyone to step up and give their two cents to whoever will listen. The part where TED profits is when they find a good video from one of the independant tedx archives, and throw it up on this channel for the free ad revenue. TEDx is definitely not adspace. Its an inverted writers guild fueled by orators without a guild to protect the profits of their speeches.
Every time they dive, even for a couple hours they find 3 or 4 new species o.O this is just mind-blowing. Amazing job by those people. I can't wait to see the results of this research she exploration.
@Zfast4you We? 99.9% of all species who ever lived have gone extinct without our help.
What ever floats your boat mate....
Zfast4you damn. So many tears. It’ll be okay.
@Will Pack so either we achieve everything on this planet or it counts for nothing. Great logic bro.
@Will Pack that's some idealistic bullshit that "sounds nice" but doesn't apply to the real world. My point was that even though we can't learn everything it doesn't mean that learning some is useless. It's not all or nothing. There is value in between too.
This dude looks like a Hollywood caricature of a dude who leads expeditions to the bottom of the ocean.
Well, I wish I didn't look like a caricature, but at least I look like a guy that goes to the bottom of the oceans? Not sure I know how to change what I look like.
i thought, more of a villain...but he sounds like a lovely guy
Victor Vescovo you did an absolutely amazing job, and the topic I think is incredibly interesting but very few people know that much about our amazing oceans
He looks a little like Sean Connery from The Hunt for Red October, which is awesome!
@@victorvescovo5773 victor, did you use anybody from the russian sub program, ie alfa class in your titanium work? the sum of knowledge of titanium submersibles must have proliferated after the fall of the soviet union, a lot of ground breaking tech was created around that class of sub.. or was this a progression of the "trieste" program, or..an amalgam? cool that you can do thousands of cycles on that hull and be safe, designing the hatch and portals must have been an nightmare..
Victor is tremendously accomplished. It's great to see a founder of a Private Equity firm using proceeds to fund these projects versus spending it on lavish homes, boats and things just for themselves. Shows that you can have a typical white collar career/background but your interests and pursuits can be just as impactful/interesting.
Victor, your intelligence, drive and passion have brought you incredible success. Your research is so important and so anticipated by us all. We can’t wait to see what you find in the depths. Thank you!
You are extremely kind. Thank you!
I like the dude and what he has to say, but the rehearsed interview style is absolutely cringe
It is better than him keeping to himself and not sharing such an amazing adventure. Many really intelligent individuals lack people skills, and the ability to connect well with a general audience. He was obviously a bit nervous. The footage was "courtesy of the Discovery Channel." So he probably has some kind of public appearances and promotions contract associated with that.
@@UpcycleElectronics I don't mind less good public speaking (although of course it is better if it is there) and I've seen plenty of those talks that I still liked. However, in this style of completely rehearsed interview style it is quite annoying and just makes it worse. He already uses a slide show, just put the questions on there and let him read them himself.
Yeah, sorry. I did my best under a very short time to prepare and under the constraints of the format they provided. I tried my best to make it interesting.
@@victorvescovo5773 this was more interesting to me than all the space exploration that has been done to be honest. You are doing amazing work! Thank you for doing what you do!
@@victorvescovo5773 is that actually you or a fake account
"Yeah, like Elon but i'm riding my own vehicle"
I'm dead xD
Not yet!
I just wanna see them bring something down to watch the pressure crush it
OpiatedBliss I think I have an idea
@@shawneeg214 *Yoink!*
On this episode: Trump toupee and latest Katy Perry CD!
That is so funny you say that. Actually, on our dives we take down Styrofoam cups that we draw designs on and the water crushes them to about half their size. We bring them back up and give them to family and friends just to show how much pressure is down there (16,000 psi at the Challenger Deep). Yeah, I should have brought one to how.
DANGER WILL ROBINSON !! CRUSH, KILL, DESTROY !!
3:24 is what happened to those People are on board in the cheap Ocean Gate's Titan Submersible... Victor Vescovo You are a Legend....!!! Ocean Gate Needs Serious Lessons to Learn From this Man.
Can y’all imagine what all we’ll find in the oceans? There’s so much we’ve yet to discover. Amazing.
I totally agree . . which is one of the big reasons we started off on this adventure. We really had no idea what we might find.
@@victorvescovo5773 there might be unknown species down there that can help the human race cure diseases with their genetics. My uncle just died from ALS and doctors weren't much help to him. Who knows, maybe you'll find a new species, like that awesome jelly you found, that can significantly help us. I feel like all the genetics answers we need to solve our most "incurable" diseases are in the species that are all around us. We just need to make sure we don't kill off those species before we can solve these problems. Good luck to you Victor, keep up the good work!
6:26 "It just drifted across beautifully.." *cuts away when the baby is about to hit the lander*
dont worry the baby is **stronk** just like mugi
Smash em in the nuts, damn sea creatures are wasting precious tax dollars.
@TED Once this technology goes global, what effect(s) are we going to be having on the ecosystem down there? We're talking about a place where nothing is used to being exposed to light--creatures, plants, etc.
Victor is an absolute legend and we all should be extremely thankful for all the work he is doing all together with his great team. Kudos.
I really like his shirt, sweater jacket combo, cudo's!
Gregor Miller hair too
I don't like this format.
Video with synchronized audio?
@@GodsAutobiography Useless presenter on a video with synchronized audio.
@@ortega6211 the diver or the unnecessary guy on the side?
My guess is it's because the presenter won't or can't maintain a proper presentation, so there is a interviewer to keep the conversation flowing.
this an ad for commercial deep diving company and that presenter is TED executive
Absolutely incredible the efforts these people are putting into understanding our world! Love it
what a cool dude we need more humans like him love this guy
Thank you very much. That was very kind of you to say.
*_Anybody realized the real VICTOR VESCOVO does really reply to most of the people in the comment section?_*
*_So kind of him tbh, and I really admire him for this amazing achievement_*
I wonder if they will ever release the raw footage of the outside camera dives. The ocean terrifies me, but I love learning about it and I never thought it would be possible to see the bottom of the Mariana Trench. The Discovery channel didn't sate my thirst for seeing video of the ocean's bottom. It was still nice to see what little I was able. Honestly I think this man is one of my new heroes...
This guy has the name of a bond villain but is just about the nicest wealthy person I've ever heard of.
Adventure.
Exploration of water & space
has been a long time coming.
I am excited for the first time
in decades. Thank you.
I hope to see more.
One person I really respect; incredible task oriented individual.....just Amazing accomplishments!
Thank you for expanding our minds and world with these exciting explorations
@TED Incredible, fascinating TED ~WoW!! Congratulations, to Victor Vescovo & his team, getting to the bottom of Oceans!! I can't wait to see follow-up ViD's, of more creatures/species that he's found! Awesome, incredible achievement! Thank you👍🏻👏🏻👌🏻
What an exciting time we're living in! We're opening up the space and now we're opening up the oceans too :)
Went here after a FSM citizen rode along with Victor on March 12, 2021 to the deepest part of our ocean.
Really impressive. More people should do this.
Vescovo is pure legend with amazing lifestyle he lives with , looking forward for his new achievements.
This is absolutely incredible.
Victor Vescovo is just amazing!!!
This would've been much better as a monologue. The "discussion" was cringy.... amazing project though.
Love that the ship is called the Pressure Drop. One of my favorite songs of all time.
Well, I actually named it after the ship in Ian Banks' "Culture" science fiction series. I have to listen to that song now . . .
@@victorvescovo5773 Haha good to know. I highly recommend it. A reggae classic by Toots and the Maytals and there is also a highly acclaimed cover by the Clash. Keep up the good work 👍
@@victorvescovo5773 The Culture series is awesome. And so is your deep sea exploration. Congratulations and keep up the good work! :-)
I hope Victor Vescovo will discover really something new and incredible that we never seen before. Ocean is so mysterious in the bottom.
Really didn’t know the Atlantic Bottom has never been explored! Pretty cool 😎 ♥️
Most of the ocean is still a mystery due to our technology and that's why less people visited the Mariana Trench than the Moon.
Definitely cool! This video is a little misleading though. The DSV Alvin has been diving to the bottom of the ocean before this dude was born. He should have been clearer that he has been to a deeper part than previously explored. Still most of the ocean is unexplored, which is craziness!
3:23 "If Something really goes wrong in a submersible, you're not gonna know it." -Yikes. RIP Titan
Finally an actual talk.
Absolutely phenomenal!!!.
this was pretty awesome, more like it please!
Wowww!... Fantastic Work Guys!
That Jelli Fish was Amazing and I can't wait to see more of Our InnerSpace!!! 🌏
Incredible 😭
Dr. Vescovo one the first person along side of Dr. Onda from the Philippines to get into the bottkm of the world's 3rd deepest trench - Emdeen Deep/Philippine Trench.
You guys are legend!
I had to google a quite a few more questions about our oceans out of curiosity just to even find out who this man is all accidently and I'm awestruck.
Fantastic, thanks Victor!!
Congratulations Human You Are Amazing ❣️
Brilliantly designed & built sub ! Way cool !!
So happy to be apart of this era
Unfortunately I didn’t hear of this amazing man before OceanGate but it lead me to him and he is a legend!!
I admire victor's passion. for the future of science and earth studies
Great! Amazing! A very important moment on human exploration !!!!!
This is so fascinating - thank you for sharing your work, Victor! I'm looking forward to hearing more about these dives. One of the subjects I teach on in some of my science classes is the bottom of the ocean, but it's really hard to teach a subject that we know so little about. While I appreciate the work Elon is doing, this, to me, is so much more important and it's not comparable.
Well thank you!
I'm so following this! That's a world of it's own and we still don't know that much about it😮!
Now THIS is really worth spreading
Yesterday i watched discovery and saw eyes of Victor and i wanted to know more about his work. His is really interesting.
Awesome !!! , Inspiring !!! Thank you !!
This is so exciting!
This great guy is my new hero!
I wish there was a video out there were you could watch the whole journey from the surface to the bottom so you could get the feel of how deep it actually is, altought might not very exiting for most people, but the darkness down there really fuels your sense of imagination.
This dudes a true legend
Can't wait for more explorations experiences from you sir! Explore our "dark" ocean! 😁
Thank you!
I remember about his plan to dive The Five Deeps a few years ago....so damn cool.
Absolute legend
A)"it's like putting Eiffel tower on your toe"...
B)"Ah it's more than that ,it's about 16000 PSI"...
C)🤔...🙄
Neil Sangte I’m pretty sure he Said 60,000
“Pressure per square inch” If I’m not mistaken
RandomRoulette :’(
Yeah, I flubbed that a little. I meant to be clear and say "16,000 pounds per square inch." It is the equivalent to the weight of three Nimitz-class aircraft carriers sitting on top of the entire sub (if it was in a tub of water that the carriers were sitting on). It is a crazy amount of pressure. It was very difficult to engineer all the systems that could handle that pressure, and still work normally on the surface.
@@victorvescovo5773 I really appreciate you taking the time to clear this up.
The only man in the world I would accept as a step father
oceannauts. amazing.
Amazing!
Incredible!
Watched a video on how the sub was made and certified. The titanium sphere manufacturing and testing was super cool.
Looking forward to the nature documentaries of all the new deep-sea creatures that will be discovered with the help of this technology! :)
Bravo!!!!
This is so great
That's deep.
No offense meant to David Biello but please don't use this format again. Mr. Vescovo's expedition sounded very interesting; he seemed personable and would have kept the audience engaged on his own.
Crazy. Absolutely crazy
What a great man.
What a legend.
so awesome!
That incredible. It’s crazy how we haven’t explore our ocean yet.
Legendary!
Wow..amazing
This is absolutely amazing and quite intriguing but I got to say you are the mirror image of Vlad Masters 😂
How exciting!
This is too cool!
Victor is the real deal!
Such a beautiful sailor!)
Bravo 👏 Bravo 👏 Pioneers Extraordinaire 👍
It's pioneers like that which help move mankind ahead generations in knowledge.
I’d love to join this expedition as a witness testimony :) and bring back experiences :) as long as the giant squid stays away lol 😂
Never heard of him but you can tell instantly he is badass
Victor is awesome 👏🏼
When is the documentary being released? I've been waiting to see this deep sea footage.
He should hire someone to run social media pages for him. They could post the new species whenever they dive and they'll probably get a decent following. That would help him spread his name and possibly even get funding for further projects... maybe?
Well if he hasn't ready, I just know he doesn't have a insta page.
Amazing
realy amazing does anyone know if victor has any videos of his dives that are available i mean from the outside of the sub with a special go pro for example it would be like being by yourself just floating down i may even see some of my wifes ancesters lol😆😆😆
