Really impressed by the number of people on social media who turn out to have expertise in both deep sea engineering AND modern Russian political dynamics.
@mattblaze I’m impressed by how few of them seem to understand the difference between space (delta P ≈ 1 atm) and the bottom of the sea (>300).
@merz @mattblaze to be fair space has other issues. You don't have to worry about a 30,000km/h grain of sand in a submersible. But yeah very different problem sets.
