[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My gosh how quickly you forget. SpaceX had a ton of failures with Falcon 9, but they persevered through failed land and water landings as late as June 2016 and now they are regularly carrying satellites, cargo and people to space.

More people have been to space than the bottom of the oceans. I applaud pioneers like Stockton Rush for innovating.

So many are quoting an ex employee and his lawsuit from FIVE years ago as gospel to what Titan is today. His claim of the PortHole only being certified to 1400M is the only source of countless news articles. His claim from a five year old lawsuit from an ex employee doesn’t make it true.

I hope they are floating somewhere on the surface.

You would be surprised just how much “off the shelf” hardware is inside the Dragon capsule.  So stop slamming it as you just sound silly.

I saw someone putting down the unpainted rusted construction steel pipes used as ballast they could release to go the surface as some example of shoddy engineering. Do you honestly think steel to be left at the bottom of the ocean needs to be all shiny painted and pretty?[/quote]

This is not the same thing as space X. I am no Elon musk fan but space X doesn’t operate in a way that is a blatant risk to human life. Neither does NASA or many other organizations that focus on exploration. [/quote]
