Individual fibres, yes. But the composite material is fibres and resin. Plus the vessel is surely pressurized.

- rsaxvc 3y agoProbably not pressurized much in the scale of things. Humans are incompatible with nearly every gas at 13000feet/400 atm and beyond. Nobody has done it. Cabin pressurization might get you to ~50atm, but that's around the extreme limit, so regardless of cabin pressurization the hull has to handle most of it. Here's hoping it has and they can be found quickly.
- jacquesm 3y agoWith a pressure differential of 399 atmospheres I don't think that the vessel being pressurized is going to be much of a factor. It might as well be vacuum.
