I'm not sure how many people know about their 'sound detection system'. Carbon fiber is a fickle beast and is prone to such failures so that alone worried me, but it was incredible for me to learn that they expected some sort of early warning from cracking.
Do you have a link? Google just gives results about the US Navy detection of the implosion…

"When you don't have any real criticism, just make stuff up! Keep people down at all costs." P.S. Nick checks out.
How is gross negligence on QA not a "real criticism"?
>Constructing a rocket engine using conventional approaches can take months, followed by extensive qualification testing to ensure it meets the required specifications. Using a metal 3D printer from German company EOS, Agnikul produced its engine in roughly three days. Agnikul printed the engine out of inconel, a high-performance alloy of nickel and chromium that can withstand high temperatures and mechanical loads.…
> Besides, the question I have is why 3D printing? Rocket nozzles are heat limited. You could get more trust out of them only if the nozzle would not melt. So you do a lot of tricks to cool it. One of those many tricks is that you circulate your rocket fuel as a coolant in the wall of the nozzle. This requires an intricate web of many tiny pipes which form the wall of the nozzle. Typically these are constructed by ha…
"Removing the need for postfabrication qualification" doesn't mean "perfectly detects errors" it means "detects errors within our business specs and we expect it to be profitable within that margin".

If it would be a Tesla, just enough time for the auto-pilot to disengage and claim it was the fault of the user.
Tesla autopilot is not supposed to be unmonitored, so any accidents under its control are entirely the fault of the driver. If a driver disengaged 0.1s before impact, they were derelict in their driving.

I wouldn't defend america's immigration system (in my opinion the world should be borderless and you should be able to vote in any location where you can demonstrate that you've performed work for a wage or something like that), but if anyone should be allowed to seek labor by moving freely, it is the unskilled, who are already tremendously disadvantaged by globalization. Skilled labor is unlikely to be tremendously…
Those lines are not imaginary per se. It means that the people living within those imaginary lines have come together with similar ideals and unity, arrived by many years of co-operation, to bestow certain rights and privileges to their fellow neighbors. Those rights were paid in blood, sweat and tears. The reason people organized as tribes matters. Its part of our very nature. And those tribes also respected imagina…

You hardly enough know anything about the project to make an assumption about the absence of QA. If you were an employee there, and you had specific concerns, that would be worth something. You made it up because you had no real point.
I take their claims at face value. Either they are for some weird reason lying about not doing QA or they are extremely negligent in their manufacturing. Granted, I can not exclude the first option, but to be honest that might make the company look even worse.

Well there were probably some early warning signs The problem is that warning sign comes at around 10ms or less before the actual disaster
> "What we heard, in my opinion ... sounded like a flaw/defect in one area being acted on by the tremendous pressures and being crushed/damaged," Stanley wrote in the email, a copy of which has been obtained by CNN.
> "From the intensity of the sounds, the fact that they never totally stopped at depth, and the fact that there were sounds at about 300 feet that indicated a relaxing of stored energy /would indicate that there is an area of the hull that is breaking down/ getting spongy,"
It's more impressive that the sub continued to work while giving warning signs for 4 years.

I hope this doesn't lead to an exponential increase in space debris.

Also, best of luck in your quest of fighting imaginary villians.
By conflating unrelated things and jumping to conclusions such as that you are not acting as a good ambassador for your country.
