minus-squarekiwifoxtrot@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up29·1 year agoBoth titanium support rings were recovered intact. These are what bonded the carbon fiber hull to the titanium ends. There isn’t any evidence of carbon fiber still attached in the photos/ videos of the debris.

minus-squareapprehensively_human@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoOutside the environment? What’s out there?
minus-squareUsedusernamelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoThat’s not very typical. Some of these vessels are built so the front and back don’t fall off at all.
minus-squaretotallynotarobot@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoI don’t think there’s a reference for normal, since people usually build them in a way and from materials that make them not implode.

minus-squareDosCommas@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoLooks like the acrylic window is missing on the front dome. I wonder if it gave out first or got popped out by the implosion.
