A drilling rig in deep water is more impressive than launching satellites into orbit? Puhleeze...

What show is it? I know we have been on Discovery a few times, probably will be rebroadcast at some point?

What boss do you mean? The people who built Sea Launch?

Well they didn't actually say how rich his boss was, if you saw the gear these guys have to work with, its pretty obvious that there is some serious coin involved..

I believe they said the Sea Commander cost well over a billion dollars to build, and thats only one component in the opertation.
It looks like the QE 2 but bigger..
