- thrillgore 3y agoI honestly thought that the CURIE was such a ridiculous idea in game I was shocked to find the FLIP really existed.
- keane 3y agoI think R/V FLIP was also the inspiration for the Operation Hennessey underwater sea laboratory in Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach's The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou that Zissou's crew steals an espresso machine from. NED: Steve are we allowed in here? ZISSOU: It's the scientific community, man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbFdjq-QIRc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbFdjq-QIRc Interestingly, in a life imitates art way, an R/P FLIP crew member describes the culture onboard the actual sea lab as resembling Life Aquatic here: https://rvsallyride.ucsd.edu/2017/04/04/week-3-report-from-flip/ https://rvsallyride.ucsd.edu/2017/04/04/week-3-report-from-f...
