Rush ignored the experts, even silenced them, because being a cheerleader with a "vision" is what sells. Just like Trump.

@mrblack888 - Lying about engineering that kills people is ABSOLUTELY political. And the video has that angle. Did any engineer even sign off on this, because Rush was selling the trips as if the vessel was rigorously engineered and tested. And you think that lying and getting around regulators isn't political? Why do you think the hearings took place? Politics.

@JamesBond-qv2ht - You can't even read. Show me where I blamed it on Trump, you weak-ass liar.

@chuckd5819 - Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! I have known about Trump the Crook since the 1980s. My dad's friend and my mentor had a crew installing work on a Trump building. As the project was wrapping, Trump Co told him they would not pay him what they promised. Trump is KNOWN for this vile behavior, even by supporters. Fortunately, his crew was still on site, so he called his crew and told them to start removing their work. Funny how Trump Co changed their song. Sadly, few people can stand up to a rich bully. My mentor was lucky that Trump Co didn't act with more forethought, but they got away with so much they didn't bother to think. But really, does it matter? When Trump has billions yet doesn't care to donate to charity but instead SCAMS from it, can't you see who he is? When his ghostwriter for "The Art of the Deal" says Trump sucks and he regrets writing the book, that tells you who Trump is. Trump lied about his successes. He lied about his failures. That tells you who he is. He cheated on his wives. When Melania was home with her newborn, he cheated on her. Yeah, so moral. Get out of here, Trump is for Chumps.

@Jason2003 - The lack of moral values I am highlighting. And morality IS the key point of value underlying this story. If you are such a snowflake that you have a problem with, don't watch the video or read the comments. The point of the video is to highlight the decision to not have enough concern for other people. Rush didn't just make choices about his own personal risks, he lied to others who made deadly decisions for themselves, including a young man with so much of life otherwise ahead of him. When immoral people get others killed, I will speak up in a forum discussing those people. And this forum is doing that. Rush didn't use a proper design methodology for ensuring reasonable safety. The same lack of ethics (and an underlying empathic morality) that he exhibited provides a *broader lesson* for all. If you ignore the lack of morality in leaders, or lack of sufficiently ethical rules (or their enforcement), their will be tragic consequences. I realize snowflakes like you want to run and hide from these everpresent and broad truths, but you won't be allowed to hide. I simply added a second example to reinforce the message. This forum was already addressing the issue because the point of the video was a shockingly immoral decision. Rush didn't make an unrealized error. He knew what he was doing. In his value system, it didn't matter. He deceived and innocents died. This is happening again, now at a national scale, and the same lessons apply. If you are too butt-hurt by that because it undermines whatever obliviousness you choose to hide with, that is your problem. Don't go watching videos directly related to morality (or reading the comments) if you don't want to be reminded of the broader lessons and politics connected to the topic.

@dogdie147 - Most people look at it without realizing fiber is like a noodle. The fiber doesn't handle compression rigidly. It handles *tension*.

@ - Not bonkers in the propaganda or Rush. The tube was over-engineered by -30%, and since it was over-engineered, you can remove stuff.

What makes fiber-resin composite attractive for developing new designs in compression-resistant structures? I mean, fibers are noodles. They resist tension. Thus, a pressurized aircraft might be a good place for using fiber materials. But a cylinder being compressed by unimaginable forces? Why? It seems like the resin is the hero here, and the fiber temporarily bonds to the resin like tensile rebar. Eventually, the flexing will loosen the fiber-resin bonds and neither the resin nor the fiber is inherently a good base for a robust, compression-resistant cylinder.

I did that long ago. I don't mind ads, but watching a video should not stick me with a much higher rate of ad time per content time than a half-hour sitcom on TV.

@ - A tank stops a localized impulse, not a continual force. So, the example only goes so far.

@ - Well, after creating such a safe vessel by lovingly grinding away (i.e, cutting and tearing) some fibers to get rid of bulges, you wouldn't want any nano-scale roughness of the titanium caps to damage the hull! That could be bad, mm-kay?

@ - It's easy because that's who Rush was. His design WOULD implode. That's the shock of the whole story.

@ - The vast majority of US citizens, thanks to the Dunning Kruger effect, had believed they were competent enough to judge Carter as incompetent. Idiots judging a smart and (for a politician) remarkably decent man. So, instead of a great leader, we got a disaster. Reagan didn't just do bad things in his time, he was a part of a so-called neoconservative system that accelerated in its successes and led to the disasters of 9/11, Iraq, 1/6, and now Trump II.

@ - Ah, the anti-physics crowd. Flat earthers. "chem trail" whackos, and anti-vaxxers (biophysics). How things works doesn't matter. All you need is a story where the story doesn't explicitly invalidate itself, and that story will attract some adherents.

@ - To people like Rush, it does mean that. Well, "meant". Rush is just an idea now, not an existing human.

This provides a lesson for our current times. We have a leader who hires people to say how things might work, then fires them before (and sometimes - too late - after) they say his ideas don't work.

@ - Doing the right thing and wanting an optimal world is always in my head, regardless of who is temporarily in the topic of the hour. You seem to have this foolish phrase in your head, rent free. It means nothing, has no value. I don't regret and never will regret focusing on what makes the world better.

@ - Your response use self-contradictory language. You say you use multiple layers ("layer up") because otherwise your "layers" (a plural, thus multiple layers) will have unpredictable behavior. That statement has nothing to do with using just one layer. Perhaps reword/explain?
