@merz @mattblaze to be fair space has other issues. You don't have to worry about a 30,000km/h grain of sand in a submersible. But yeah very different problem sets.

@merz @mattblaze I heard a journalist describe what happened to the submersible as “explosive decompression”. 🤦‍♀️

Surprised to not see more Futurama memes, maybe I'm not looking in the right place.
