Description
Scott Manley is someone who fell into youtube because he felt a deep compelling need to teach people orbital mechanics and rocket science so they could play Kerbal Space Program, now, years later the gaming videos are less important and the pure science is the main thrust. My degrees are all in Physics and Astronomy, so much of the rocket science and engineering I've learned is self taught, always learning, always teaching.
I'm not a professional youtuber, I have a day job in software development which means I won't take lame sponsored content, or tell you to sign up for affiliate services to make a quick buck. However lots of generous people have asked to support my hobby via Patreon and I'm grateful to those individuals.
Also occasionally shares cute videos of his kids.

I heard a sub safety expert give his thoughts on this incident, and basically he said: he had no real problem with trying a new hull design, but before any human got into that new hull there needed to be two tests done. 1) Put hull under increasing pressures until it failed, to understand the actual structural limit of the hull coming out of the factory and 2) cycle the hull between 1ATM and 120% of intended limit until it failed or until the intended lifespan was reached.... then cut the hull up and analyze any defects that formed during the pressurization/depressurization cycles.

a wise person once said, "safety warnings are written in blood" its a shame that its so true

If i were the safety officer , I would definitely put “getting fired by OceanGate” in my resume

People joke about the controller, but that thing was easily the best engineered thing on the entire sub.

The fact that the people inside would have never perceived their death as it was happening because of how instant it was is both the most comforting and horrifying thing imaginable.

I’ll still never get over how OceanGate preemptively named themselves after the likely controversy they would cause

Seems to me like Stockton loved the ocean, but did not respect it in the slightest.

Every time I revisit this event, I'm shocked by the negligence involved. It's like going to space in a garbage bag.

7:00 Really horrifying to think that everyone and everything inside the sub was smashed down into that small hemisphere on the bottom. shiver

Equally fascinating was Rush's spin of "I want to hire fresh out of school engineers" from the reality of "I don't want to employ people I can't bully into going along due to experience."

Thanks for pointing out that the scenario that possibly played out for the subs faults is not what everybody thinks happened.

It wasnt that he fired people that "thought" they knew better that led to his demise, it was the fact he fired people that DID very well indeed know better than himself which led to his demise.

You overlooked the fact that they were not glueing the end caps in a sterile environment. All it would take is dust, bits of skin or a hair in the glue to affect its strength. They did it in a dirty hangar with 50 people stood watching shedding all that off their bodies so their seal probably wasn’t ideal
