Yes!
The nerds in the linked comments nerded out about that too - with fibre materials construction matters (the weave if you won't), it's not just about the material.

Hey! I've been thinking about a fiber reinforced plastic submarine used to send billionaires to go see the Titanic!

We will be using an Atari joystick to control forward, reverse, left and right. The button is for dive (downwards)

It's going to be great!

For anyone who didn't already know, Atari joysticks only had one button. Hehehehe.

Can I fund your Kickstarter?

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I’m willing to join the kickstarter but only if we can get Elon to join the maiden voyage.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago

Yes, the joystick is of an appropriate girth. Although it can also be operated manually.
