cf is great with tightening conditions and impulses but not compression as the thread degrade.
great for gun barrels and a host of mil applications but as a wrap glued to a hull no that's a hell no

no they wouldn't, barely even notice a bubble or two
you guys watch too many movies
Ok wasn’t sure. Just thought something imploding would have to create quite a disturbance being that the Navy may have heard it at god knows how far away.
That’s what she said.
Actually yes. Maybe not for the ‘bill’ but for never ending technology advances in this space. Public and privates all beg for more every year. It’s how budgets work.People really think the Navy is going to have to ask congress for additional funding to pay this magical bill
Would it be any harder to establish underwater communities than communities on Mars? Either place you need a source of oxygen.
If you have a power source you can make oxygen from water. That's what all the nuclear subs do.
On Mars, not so much.
I've done a little diving, but not since my best friend was killed in a diving accident on U-352 off the coast of North Carolina about 20 years ago.
Both are unforgiving environments. But space is far more unforgiving, far less recoverable.
But but but….
His name is JAMES CAMERON,
The Bravest Pioneer!
No budget to steep,
No sea too deep,
Who’s that? It’s him!
James Cam-er-on!
JAMES CAMERON,
Explorer of the sea!
With a dying thirst,
To be the first,
Could it be? It’s him!
James Cam-er-on…..

anyone see the pics of the joystick on the ocean floor? Cap is intact from pics so looks like hull issue and not that front glass. Also they releases weight so in all probability, they knew something was wrong and tried to ascend but couldn't and then imploded. Thankfully, it's so fast they never knew it happened.
'J. Cameron tells CNN that his sources told him the Titan jettisoned its ballast before the implosion. He says the crew must have observed the delamination of the hull and attempted an urgent recovery'
RIP

Good demonstration
Pressure wants to equalize quick, fast and in a hurry. Nature doesn't like unequal forces.
Same experiment done with a steel drum is something to see.
We should expect a lot more of this. The prevailing culture is now firmly on a trajectory opposite of a merit or colorblind society. Everyone is labeled and some labels are better than others.
Never had interest in going that deep. I applaud the work and courage it took to do that. You don't just jump into that.
What is the bottom time @ 180? Can't be long even with mixed gas. How many stops on the way up?
Yes, this another example of carbon fiber composites used under tension. These tanks also have an aluminum bladder so theyre not completely reliant on the composite. I thought these needed to be tested every 5 yrs with max lifetime of 15yr. These were designed with a large safety margin and are a certified design. I would still use these with caution. I think the biggest risk would be surface impact damage to the carbon fiber which would compromise the integrity. I wouldn't want to be near one that failed. The number of fill cycles I think should dictate lifetime rather than time.
