#while carbon fiber likely would (there hasn't been enough testing of the behavior of cf under rly high pressures)

all i've learned from this submersible situation is that u could never pay me enough to step foot into the ocean

#also that it was a materials selection nightmare #why are u putting carbon fiber in high pressure environments #it's still a fairly new material compared to other materials used in deep sea operations #and sure it was paired with titanium #but there's a reason why navy submarines and such are made of materials that can deform and huge amounts of compression over multiple uses #i.e. steel and aluminum #also carbon fiber has good tensile strength (pulling it apart) as opposed to compressive strength (pushing on it) #on top of the fact that it's much more brittle than say metals #metals can deform and won't immediately crack under intense pressure #while carbon fiber likely would (there hasn't been enough testing of the behavior of cf under rly high pressures) #the amount of corner cut on that submersible was astounding #i especially feel bad for the 19 yr old on there since he only went to make his father happy :( #ok nerd rant over #wait i didn't mention THE WIRELESS GAME CONTROLLER #U DON'T WANT THAT #EVERYTHING SHOULD BE HARD WIRED TOGETHER #also the viewpoint wasn't even graded to go that deep #viewport* #someone on twt called it a deep sea hubris coffin #and #yeah it kinda was #ashlee's bs
