  1. THERE IS A THING CALLED "REDUNDANCY" its how many levels of failure you can experience on a system before it stops working - electrically assisted steering on your car has 2 levels of redundancy for example A games controller has NONE - ZERO - you would not get it passed for a speed run at Bonneville let alone going to the bottom of the sea

  2. @@user-ef2bx9fb4y "The ascent mechanisms were 7x redundant". Clearly not or they would be at the surface. "They had backup controllers." If you are in an emergency - the time it takes to switch controllers is life and death at those depths. It's just BAD PRACTICE in the extreme, which is why if you take to 500cc car to a speed run, you would not be allowed a games controller to fire the shute or any other system on there.

  3. @@user-ef2bx9fb4y - Of course thrusters are safety-critical, if you snag a bit of the wreck how are you going to get free...??? WITH THRUSTERS Its the entire philosophy of having anything onboard that is not space grade engineering is simply shocking. BUT I agree - the most likely is the COPV gave way, the composite overwrapped pressure vessel, the carbon fiber body - they are KNOWN to suffer random catastrophic failure - SpaceX suffered a failure on the launch pad 5 years ago when they were fueling the rocket and that was a COPV that randomly let go. There is something about pressurizing and unpressurizing COPV that can cause random unexpected failures that we dont seem to understand fully . My issue is the philosophy of the company, If I'm going to 13,000 feet I want every switch to be precision made and cost $500 with 3 levels of redundancy - even if it just for the reading light. I LIKE FUDDIE DUDDIES especially when i am 13,000 feet under water.
