Watched a couple videos of previous expeditions, it’s just one technical issue after another. Loss of communication with one of the external control pods, loss off communication with the ship, sonar not working, problems with the launch platform. Thruster wires installed the wrong way around, solved by remapping the logitech controller. It’s all very diy, but somehow it’s also a company taking paying customers along for the ride?

It's like one of those Christmas wonderlands or trampoline parks that chancers set up. Except far more dangerous.

That’s actually bigger and more intact bits of wreckage than I was expecting. Some of the descriptions of a high pressure implosion made it sound like it would have been the front section, the back section, and a teeny thin cylinder of carbon fibre and person soup in between.

Well it is the front section, the tail and the two feet or skids by the look of things, none of the carbon fibre though.

The worst thing I saw was when they were epoxying the titanium ends to the carbon tube, just slopping it on in the back of a barn like your dad with a tin of ronseal. Any speck of dust contamination in that bond is a failure point, then they just rested it on top while it cured instead of clamping it down, like a few thousand tons of water pressure wouldn’t move it further and weaken the bond. You wouldn’t even glue two bits of pine without a clamp

I assume there are supposed to be some twitter embeds in the past 3 posts that I'm not seeing? God, even when Twitter doesn't work it makes the discourse more useless.

Twitter seems to have changed things to require login to see Tweets, which may or not apply to embedded ones on forums but there's no Tweets on this page at all.

Twitter killing embedded tweets is probably the best thing that could ever happen. Long may it continue. It's going to fuck up all those thousands of news articles that are just basically a bunch of lazily embedded tweets though. [edit] unforunately they're still in the UK Politics thread, so it was all a pipe dream.
Context people!
