The Titanic

The vessel had been used multiple times. It was never x-ray'd after each use so we will never know if it went down with structural fatigue on its final journey down; or if it simply developed it on this journey.

One thing that annoys me if the reasoning behind hiring fresh out of uni engineers. They were chosen on the reasoning nobody is inpired by "50yo white guys". How you could think like that with so much at stake boggles my mind. They should have had at least one person with real time experience in this field. What their age and skin colour was should not be a consideration.

That’s if you believe he actually believed his own bullshit. Experienced subject matter experts cost far more and push back on lax attitudes to safety and regulations.

Yeah i edited my posts to reflect those suspicions. The hiring young and enthused engineers angle sounds good from a pr pov on the surface. As you say cost and experienced people would have been considered a problem to him by all accounts. The one guy who did raise concerns they sacked and tried to sue. It seems he didn't want pesky issues like safety concerns getting in his way.
 
CNN has been very good on this , last night their experts explained it well. The guy down there skipped lots of rules , cut corners , no outside safety regulations followed

There will be no bodies to find , maybe some dna , death was so fast that their brains will not have time to react , no fear , just gone in a milisecond

Seems ridiculous to go down in that flimsy , by industry standards , machine, madness

I would say though that we wouldnt have ct scans or memory foam, tempur mattress etc were it not for space innovation but i do struggle to see what benefit the doomed sub will give us given the standards and safety there is already present in that industry

Amongst lots of things crucial for healthcare , space exploration has been fantastic for you and i , if we need a ct and some xrays then you can thank them for that

indeed, but these were not commercial passenger-carrying missions with no scientific data gathering equipment - this was a Shearing's sight-seeing trip

As usual you greatly overstate and oversimplify your case through lack of proper research.

Space exploration did not lead to CT scanners.

The first commercially viable CT scanner was invented by Sir Godfrey Hounsfield in Hayes, United Kingdom, at EMI Central Research Laboratories and first used in London in 1971. In 1979 he was jointly awarded the Nobel prize for his pioneering work.

I’m just surprised you didn’t add PTFE to your list…

Did NASA invent the CT scan?
NASA has been working on digital image processing since the 1960s to evaluate images taken by probes and satellites. This technology enabled the development of MRI and the related computed tomography (CT) scan.
